  • In this clip, the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog Convention is introduced, to allow for assignment of absolute configuration of stereocenters. I dunno why it took three dudes to make the convention, but it's pretty sweet if you think about it.

    I just graduated with my undergrad and I had never thought of the different spatial orientation view... The way you explain things makes so much sense! Thank you!

    Not exaggerating but I swear down, your videos are sooooo much easier to follow and understand. You just seem to make all the pieces fit together! Thank you a million times over for your videos, they are saving my sanity! 😂

    I was having issues with spacial imagination until I saw you look at the hydrogen and imagined it in the back and then you could see all the 1,2,3 priorities in the plane. Thanks so much!!

    the fact that my profs try to make us waste our time building every molecule to assign R and S is absurd - thanks so much for this new technique, it's so much more efficient!

    Hello Dave Sir, NAMASTE 🙏🏻
    I am Ruchika, *your* Student from India.
    I literally love your videos. They are so rich with knowledge and good explanation. I am preparing for MEDICAL COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAM and I am a bit weak at chemistry.
    I just want to say that I find your lectures amazing and they help me a lot.
    Thank you. 😊

  • @alessandrac1940
    @alessandrac1940 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    i simply remembered 2 acronyms: ACR and TCS.. to elaborate, if the lowest priority group (usually H but not always) is away from me and i count the groups in a clockwise order, then the molecule is designated (R). If LPG is towards me and it's clockwise then it's (S). idk if that helps

  • @BLODSWIPER
    @BLODSWIPER 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    For the last molecule, its easier to just change the 3D perspective than re-arrange the atoms. Simply imagine a stick with 3 balls stuck to the end, and rotating the stick makes the balls rotate with it. Now rotate it until the H-Ball is in the back, and count priority from there. Now you don't have to flip the rules, since you did not change the molecule and you still get the same answer: S.

    i know a mnemotechnic help with the r/s. if you have the substituent 4 already away, picture yourself turning a car. the molecule is steering wheel and you turn it from 1 to 2 and then 3. if your imagined car is going right, it's R, if left, it's S.
