Term
| Cahn-Ingold-Prelog rules for assigning priority |
|
Definition
| Use to assign R or S configuration. Prioritize using numbers 1-4. Highest priority goes to the group whose first atom has the highest atomic number. Double and triple bonds expanded into equivalent number of single bonds (C tripled bonded to N counts as C connected to three N). |

Term
| Assigning R and S configurations to chiral centers |
|
Definition
| 1) Rotate the molecule so the fourth-priority substituent is in the back (on a dashed bond sticking back into the paper). 2) Draw a curve from the first- to second - to third-priority substituent: is clockwise, R, if counterclockwise, S. |
