Chapter 4, Problem 34P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Absolute configurations of the reactant and product molecule in the given reaction of isotopically labelled ethane are to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The absolute configuration is the three dimensional spatial arrangement of substituents at a chirality center.

The Cahn-Ingold-Prelog rule system ranks the substituents in the chirality center in the order of decreasing atomic number. Higher atomic number have higher priority than lower atomic number for the substituent.
