The chirality of the compound [figure]

  1. R
  2. S
  3. E
  4. Z

Answer

(1) R

Solution

CIP priorities (by atomic number): Br (1) > Cl (2) > CH3 (3) > H (4).

H is on the hashed bond, i.e. it points away from the viewer.

Going Br (top) → Cl (lower right) → CH3 (lower left), the direction is clockwise.

∵ The lowest-priority group is away from the viewer, the observed direction gives the configuration directly.

∴ Configuration = R (E/Z is used only for geometrical isomers).

Answer: (1)
