(s)-4-chloropenta-2,3-dien-2-ol


My first question is how do you number the carbons?
Which end do you start at? Is this determined by the (R) and (S)?
Are these two different molecules or do the groups spin around like propellers?

This molecule is a allenic alcohol and does not exist IRL? If it did exist it would not spin, its twoo separate molecules.

Why couldn't it exist? Regardless do you know how you would number the carbons?

It would tautomerize to an α,β-unsaturated ketone I think.
