Assigning Priorities: Examples of Naming Compounds
Name the following molecules using the proper stereochemical orientations. The base name of each molecule will be provided for you.
Base name: 7-bromo-2-chloro-4-methyl octane
As shown above, the orientations of the stereocenters in this molecule are
S (at the chlorine stereocenter),
S (at the methyl stereocenter), and
R (at the bromine stereocenter). Therefore, the complete name for this molecule is (7,
R)-bromo-(2,
S)-chloro-(4,
S)-methyl octane.
