Which of the following substituents has the highest priority
Which of the following substituents has the highest priority according to the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog system? O -NH2 O -NHCH3 -CH2NHCH3 O -CH2NH2
Solution
According to the Cahn-Ingold-Prolog,
A substituent with highet atomic number has the higher proirity than the lower atomic number.so both A and B are equal atomic number of N=7.
so we follow the next atom bonding to the Nitrogen.
So the higher proirity is -NHCH3.
