R/S configuration
« on: July 04, 2016, 07:22:41 AM »
Can someone please explain to me how (1R,2R,5S)-2,5-dimethylcyclopentanol is named? I do not understand the R/S bit, even though I know the rules. I just do not see it.

Thanks.

Start by trying to draw it.  Then,try to see what the (1R,2R,5S) is trying to refer to.
