Stereochemistry of 1,2-dibromo-2-methyl-3-pentanol
« on: November 01, 2012, 03:41:24 PM »
In trying to name the following compound, I found it be (2R,3S)-1,2-dibromo-2-methyl-3-pentanol, but my book says its (2S,3S). I'm pretty sure it's a mistake in the book, but I just wanted to double check with others.
