Document Summary
This molecule is an enantiomer because is cannot be superimposed. The chirality of the carbon in the original image is called (r). In the mirror image, the carbon is called (s), since the direction of priority goes counterclockwise. The priority of the groups would be in the order of : 1) br 2) oh: chch3. The chiral carbon of the original image is called (s), since the direction of the priority points counterclockwise. The mirror image, the chiral carbon is called (r). Since they are stereoisomers, this compound has the same sequence of priority groups as the compound drawn above: ch3ch(br)ch(oh)ch3. On each molecule there are two chiral carbons, called (r). This is because the first-priority group, through the second, to the third is pointed in a clockwise direction. Both chiral carbons in this molecule are called (r). The first chiral carbon priority is as follows:1)br. 2)ch 3)ch(oh) 4)h. in the mirror image, both chiral atoms are called (s).
