Draw Stereocenters

To draw stereocenters, follow the steps below.

  1. Draw a chiral molecule.

A chiral molecule on the canvas

  1. Select the asymmetric carbon atom that you want to configure as S or R.
  2. Right-click the carbon atom.
  3. Navigate to Stereo > R/S and select the appropriate configuration.

Selecting stereo > R/S > R

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

Relevant bonds are changed

You can alternate between label displays on the asymmetric carbon atom by navigating to View > Stereo > R/S Labels.
To delete stereo representation, right-click on the asymmetric carbon atom and choose Atom > Stereo > R/S > Off.
