The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given compounds has an 'S' configuration, we will follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Groups**: Look at the Fischer projection of each compound and identify the four substituents attached to the chiral carbon atom. Label them as A, B, C, and D. 2. **Assign Priorities**: Assign priorities to the substituents based on the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority rules: - The atom with the highest atomic number gets the highest priority (1). - The atom with the lowest atomic number gets the lowest priority (4). - If two atoms are the same, look at the next atoms in the substituent until a difference is found. 3. **Position the Lowest Priority Group**: Ensure that the lowest priority group (4) is positioned on the vertical line of the Fischer projection. This is crucial for determining the configuration correctly. 4. **Determine the Configuration**: - Trace a path from the highest priority group (1) to the second highest (2) to the third highest (3). - If the path is clockwise, the configuration is 'R'. - If the path is counterclockwise, the configuration is 'S'. 5. **Analyze Each Compound**: Repeat the above steps for each compound provided in the question. 6. **Identify the Correct Compound**: The compound that shows an 'S' configuration based on the analysis will be your answer. ### Example Analysis: - **Compound A**: - Assign priorities: D (1), A (2), B (3), H (4). - If the path from 1 to 2 to 3 is clockwise, it is 'R'. - **Compound B**: - Assign priorities: BR (1), O (2), CS3 (3), H (4). - If the path from 1 to 2 to 3 is clockwise, it is 'R'. - **Compound C**: - Assign priorities: BR (1), O (2), H (3), CS3 (4). - If the path from 1 to 2 to 3 is counterclockwise, it is 'S'. - **Compound D**: - Assign priorities: BR (1), O (2), H (3), CS3 (4). - If the path from 1 to 2 to 3 is clockwise, it is 'R'. ### Conclusion: After analyzing all the compounds, the compound that has an 'S' configuration is **Compound C**.
