The absolute configuration of

A

(2R,3S)

B

(2S,3R)

C

(2S,3S)

D

(2R,3R)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Change R to S since OH the group of highest priority lies on the horizontal axis. Change S to R since Cl the atom of highest priority lies on the horizontal axis.
Thus, the absolution configuration of the given compound is (2S, 3R), i.e., option (b) is correct.
