I got 4 (d) What is the R,S assignment to the four sterogenic centres in the sub-section of the Ciguatoxin molecule? This I have no IDEA..

hypervalent_iodine Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 A. I wouldn't call a methyl group a functional group. You maybe need to think in more general terms than that. I can't really help with the rest until I know which Ciguatoxin you're talking about. Can you post a picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
