Using Cahn Ingold Prelog Rules to Assigning R or S to Chiral Centers in a Fisher Projection

Assigning absolute stereochemistry (assign R or S) to a chiral center is an important skill that every organic chemistry student needs to master. Assign R or S involves assigning "priority" to each group bonded to the chiral center. In this video I will show you how to use Cahn Ingold and Prelog Rules (CIP Rules) to assign R or S to any chiral center in a Fisher Projection.

This video is part of a series called How to be Successful in Organic Chemistry. It this series I go over numerous problems that a student could expect to see in there organic chemistry 1 course. Doing organic chemistry practice problems will make you more successful in organic chemistry and biochemistry.

I recommend that you download the problem from the link below and attempt the problem yourself and use this video to correct your work.
