Cahn-Ingold-Prelog Convention (Determining R/S)

The video tutorial explains how to differentiate between enantiomers by assigning absolute configuration to chiral centers using the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog convention. It covers identifying chiral centers, assigning priority based on atomic mass, and determining absolute configuration. The tutorial also provides examples and tricks for cases where the lowest priority group is not positioned away from the viewer.

Explain the difference between R and S stereocenters.

How can one assign absolute configuration if the lowest priority group is towards the viewer?

What is the effect of swapping two groups on a chiral center?

What steps should be taken if the lowest priority group is in the plane of the bond?
