1. What is a chiral center/asymmetric center/stereogenic center? What are (R) and (S) absolute configurations? (2 points) 2. Why (R) and (S) absolute configurations are important in medicine? Why one configuration of a medicine is good for humans and the other configuration of the same medicine is bad/toxic in some cases? (2 points) 3. For the following compound draw (R) and (S) absolute configurations using 3D/Perspective drawing (2 drawings: R and S) and Fischer projections (2 drawings: R and S). What is the difference between 3D and Fischer projections (4 points) Compound: (CH3) C (CH₂CH3)(OH)(COOH) four different groups are in the parenthesis.
