Enantiomers: Compounds that are
nonsuperimposable mirror images. Any molecule
that is chiral must have an enantiomer.

Cahn–Ingold–Prelog Priority System
• A way to distinguish between enantioomers is to use
stereochemical modifiers (R) and (S).
• Enantiomers have different arrangements of the four
groups attached to the asymmetric carbon.
• The two possible arrangements are called
configurations.
• Each asymmetric carbon atom is assigned a letter
(R) or (S) based on its three-dimensional
configuration.
• Cahn–Ingold–Prelog convention is the most widely
accepted system for naming the configurations of
chirality centers.

When naming (R) and (S) from
Fischer projections with the
hydrogen on a horizontal bond
(toward you instead of away
from you), just apply the normal
rules backward.
