How to ASSIGN S and R Configuration to Chiral Molecules? (Stereochemistry)

This video talks about S and R configurations. The S and R configurations are a systematic way of describing the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms around a chiral center in a molecule. These configurations are part of the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog (CIP) priority rules, which were developed to provide a consistent method for assigning priorities to substituents around a chiral center. The S and R configurations are important in organic chemistry, particularly in understanding stereoisomerism, predicting reactivity in chemical reactions, and designing molecules with specific properties, such as pharmaceuticals. They provide a standardized nomenclature for describing the absolute configuration of chiral centers.
This video will help you learn the basics and foundational knowledge needed to ace your exams!
