Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The configuration and chiral centers should be identified for the given each molecules by using its structure.

Concept Introduction:

Chiral: The single chiral atoms (or) same structural feature in a compound cause that compound to have two possible stricture which are non-superimposable each mirror image of the other its called chirality.

Configuration: In order to assign the configuration as R or S identify each of the chirality centers, which SP3 carbon with four different groups attached. Further each chirality center assign the priority high to low to each group attached to the chirality center based on atomic number.

R-S configuration: The right hand and left hand nomenclature is used to name the enantiomers of a chiral compound. These sterocenters are labeled as R (counter clockwise) and S (reversed clockwise).
