The Flat and Direct Way to R and S Configurations.
Brun, Y.; Leblanc, P.
Journal of Chemical Education, v60 n5 p403-04 May 1983
Discusses a simple, effective way of teaching S and R configurations for chiral molecules containing asymmetric centers. The method involves converting wedge/spatial representations to Fischer projections and prioritizing groups according to the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog sequence rules. Two examples illustrating the method are included. (JN)
