I was hoping for some help understanding priorities when there is branching in two directions when assigning priorities. An example would be the red asterisk chiral center in the molecule I attached a picture of here, where I am trying to break the tie between two and three.
I would like to know a systematic way to break a tie like this when you can go in two directions. Do you go in both directions, and pick the higher priority branch on each to break the tie? I have tried searching this many times but I can only find basic explanations of molecules that I already understand. I would even be happy if somebody could point me toward a document that would contain the rules.
