Draw Stereocenters

To draw stereocenters, follow the steps below.

1. Draw a chiral molecule.

   

2. Select the asymmetric carbon atom that you want to configure as S or R.

3. Right-click the carbon atom.

4. Navigate to Stereo > R/S and select the appropriate configuration.

   

5. The relevant bonds are changed automatically according to the proper R or S configuration.

   

   You can alternate between label displays on the asymmetric carbon atom by navigating to View Menu > Stereo > R/S Labels.

To delete stereo representation, right-click on the asymmetric carbon atom and choose Atom menu > Stereo > R/S > Off.
