The chirality of the compound
is

Options

A. `(R )`
B. `(S)`
C. `(Z)`
D. `(E)`

Answer

A

Explanation

`Br gt CI gt CH_(3) gt H`
Ay chiral centre can be designated `(R )` or `(S)` by the following procedure:
(i) List the four ligands bonded to the chiral center in decreasing order of precedence
(ii) View the structure from the side opposite the ligands of lowest precedence and consider the spatial arrangement of the three remaining ligands in order of decreasing precedence
(iii) This order must be clockwise or anticlockwise and is designated `(R )` (Latin, rects, right) or `(S)` (Latin, sinister, left) respectively
