Practice Problem: IUPAC Nomenclature and Stereochemistry

The video tutorial explains how to draw R2 chloro hexane, focusing on identifying the parent molecule, drawing possible structures, and determining stereochemistry using the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog convention. It covers assigning priorities to atoms and understanding R and S configurations, including how to assess and invert stereochemistry for accurate representation.
