Determining Stereochemical Relationships:
Comparing Acyclic Structures Using the R and S Method
You have selected to use the R and S Method for determining the stereochemical relationships between molecules drawn in different acyclic three-dimensional representations. Using this method requires four steps:
Step 1: Determine that the molecules have the same molecular formula and connectivity.
For example, compare the molecules below.
Do these molecules have the same molecular formula and connectivity?
