Chapter 24: Q4P (page 1106)

The asymmetric center of glycerol-3-phosphate has the R configuration. Draw the structure of (R)-glycerol-3-phosphate.

Short Answer

Expert verified

R and S are the absolute configurations. R refers to Rectus and S refers to Sinister which indicates right and left respectively.R and S are described on the basis Cahn- Ingold- Prelog rule. Priorities are given on the basis of atomic numbers. It means atom with highest atomic numbers gets the highest priority.

Step by step solution

01

Step-by-Step SolutionStep 1: R and S Configuration

R and S are the absolute configurations. R refers to Rectus and S refers to Sinister which indicates right and left respectively.R and S are described on the basis Cahn- Ingold- Prelog rule. Priorities are given on the basis of atomic numbers. It means atom with highest atomic numbers gets the highest priority.

02

Structure of (R)-glycerol3-phosphate

In the given structure of glycerol, oxygen gets the highest priority, while the group of atoms containing phosphorus gets the second priority. In the given structure hydrogen get the lowest priority. So if we move from highest to lowest priority we get an R configuration.

The structure of the compound is as follows;

Structure of (R)-glycerol-3-phosphate
