The R/S system (Cahn–Ingold–Prelog rules) assigns priorities to substituents on a chiral center. R (rectus) indicates a clockwise arrangement of priorities, and S (sinister) indicates a counterclockwise arrangement. This nomenclature precisely denotes stereochemistry in complex molecules. Understanding R/S is crucial in synthesis, as different enantiomers can have dramatically different biological or pharmacological effects.
