How to assign R and S configuration using the Cahn Ingold Prelog priority rules | stereochemistry

Assigning the absolute (R and S) configuration to chirality centers is a key skill you need to pass organic chemistry! In this tutorial, you'll learn to use the cahn ingold prelog priority rules to decide between the R and S configuration.

00:00 Intro
00:44 What is the absolute (R or S) configuration?
The three steps to assigning R/S configuration:
01:44 Ranking groups using the Cahn Ingold Prelog Priority Rules
05:15 Viewing molecule with the fourth priority group pointing away
06:12 Deciding between R and S configuration using the direction of groups 1,2, and 3
08:58 What to do if the fourth priority group isn't pointing away!
