Vedclass · Answer

(B) Assigning $R/S$ configurations using Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority rules:For $(A)$: Priority is $-OH (1) > -CHO (2) > -CH_2OH (3) > -H (4)$. With $-H$ on the horizontal axis,the clockwise arrangement $1$ $\rightarrow 2$ $\rightarrow 3$ corresponds to $S$ configuration.For $(B)$: Priority is $-OH (1) > -CHO (2) > -CH_2OH (3) > -H (4)$. With $-H$ on the vertical axis,the clockwise arrangement $1$ $\rightarrow 2$ $\rightarrow 3$ corresponds to $R$ configuration.For $(C)$: Priority is $-OH (1) > -CHO (2) > -CH_2OH (3) > -H (4)$. With $-H$ on the horizontal axis,the counter-clockwise arrangement $1$ $\rightarrow 2$ $\rightarrow 3$ corresponds to $R$ configuration.Comparing configurations: $(A)$ is $S$,$(B)$ is $R$,$(C)$ is $R$. Therefore,$(B)$ and $(C)$ are identical,while $(A)$ and $(B)$ are enantiomers,and $(A)$ and $(C)$ are enantiomers. The statement '$A$ and $C$ are identical' is incorrect.

Which of the following statements is not correct about $(A)$,$(B)$ and $(C)$?
