Priority is assigned to each atom or group around the carbon chiral atom. Hydrogen should have the lowest priority and it should be pointing away. The highest priority is given to the group with the first atom having the highest atomic number. For the non-hydrogen groups, if the highest to lowest number is arranged in a clockwise manner, it has an R configuration. It will have an S configuration if these groups are arranged in an anti-clockwise manner.

How many stereo isomers are in ephedrine?

Ephedrine has four stereoisomers due to the presence of a chiral center in its structure. Specifically, it has two enantiomers: (R)-ephedrine and (S)-ephedrine, as well as two diastereomers: (R,S)-ephedrine and (S,R)-ephedrine. Therefore, the total number of stereoisomers for ephedrine is four.


How is the CORN rule applied to name carbohydrates?

The "CO" refers to the carboxyl, the "R" refers to the alkyl and the "N" refers to the nitrogen. Look at the carbon chiral atom of the carbohydrate with the hydrogen atom behind. If CO-R-N is clockwise, then it is a D isomer. If CO-R-N is anti-clockwise, then it is a L isomer.
