Assign priorities in the following set of substituents according to Cahn-Ingold-Prelog rules.
-OCH3 -Br -Cl -CH2OH
Explanation:
To give priorities for the substituents that are attached to chiral carbon and to assign either R or S-configuration the following rules were proposed:
1. The atom with the highest atomic number is given first priority.
2. If the Groups attached to chiral carbon are having the same first atom, then check for the atomic number of the second atom.
Among the given groups,
-Br has the highest atomic number, so it is given first priority.
Unsaturated organic compounds with a carbon-to-carbon double bond and alkynes with a carbon-to-carbon triple bond, as well as aldehydes and ketones with a carbon-to-oxygen double bond, undergo addition reactions.
Chemical compounds are any substance composed of identical molecules consisting of atoms of two or more chemical elements. So NO2 and KBr are compounds, Br2 and Fe are not.
