So we have the following organic compound here.
00:02
We have pseudoephedrine, and we want to go ahead and point out each of its chiral centers and assign configuration to each of its chiral centers.
00:10
So looking, we have to remember what a chiral center is.
00:13
So a chiral center is a carbon that has four different groups connected to it.
00:18
And looking at the compound, it looks like we had two different chiral centers.
00:22
So one would be this carbon here that i have a green dot on, and one would be the next carbon over, which has a blue dot on it.
00:29
And so now what we can do is we can go ahead and assign our configurations or assign our priorities.
00:35
And so what we see for the green chiral center here is that the oxygen is going to be prior to number one.
00:42
And then going onwards to our looks like, so we go to the next carbon over, right? so that'll be this carbon or the next carbon here...
