Dynamic Stereochemistry: A Simple Approach to Delineating Relative Configuration
Mandal, Dipak K.
Journal of Chemical Education, v84 n2 p274 Feb 2007
A simple approach for delineating the stereochemistry of the products relative to that of the reactants in reactions involving stereogenic centers is addressed. The reaction at the tetrahedral center involves the cleavage of a bond to one of the ligands in the reactant and the resulting new ligand in the product is labeled by affixing prime to the old number.
