How to Rank Priority Organic Chemistry
Organic Chemistry is a sub-discipline of chemistry that deals with carbon compounds. To learn the basics of the subject candidates must go through the NCERT books thoroughly. Introduction To Assigning R And S The Cahn Ingold Prelog Rules Priority is assigned numerically with 1 being the highest priority 2 being next etc. . I have added the principle in below after this 3 points After ranking the molecules according to Cahn Ingold Prelog principle then orient the molecule such that the lowest priority group is directed away from you. Identify and number the substituents. Because the terminal carbon is considered as being equivalently bonded to CCH while the methyl groups are all HHH. Remember there must be as many numbers as there as substitutents. The priority group gets the suffix ending and the OH can be named with the prefix hydroxy-. CH3 CH CH2 CH3 OH 1 2 3 4 Butan-2-ol H3C CH C O OH OH 2-hydroxypropanoic acid If there...
