Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5.45P
Interpretation Introduction
(a)
Interpretation:
The second enantiomer of Troger’s base is to be drawn from the enantiomer shown.
Concept introduction:
Enantiomers are mirror images of a molecule that cannot be superimposed on each other.
Interpretation Introduction
(b)
Interpretation:
Why the two enantiomer of Troger’s base do not interconvert is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Interconversion of a pair of enantiomers is possible only if it involves rotation about a single bond. Nitrogen atoms, which are bonded to only three groups, can undergo an inversion of configuration through a process of change in the hybridization, without any breaking of bonds.

The (R, R) isomer of methylphenidate (Ritalin) is a treatment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The (S, S) isomer is an antidepressant.
Draw the methylphenidate isomer with the opposite configuration.
Shown are three molecules A, B and C; only one of the molecules is chiral. Identify the
chiral molecule (putting a circle around it suffices) and assign its absolute chirality. Draw
the opposite enantiomer of the molecule that you have identified as chiral.

I'm confused as to why the chiral centers are the was they are. I understand that the horizontal lines are wedged and vertical are dashed. Wouldn't the first priority be the carboxylic acid, then alcohol, the carbon, and then the hydrogen? The book is saying that one method is to keep two of the straight lines and pick one group to be dashed and one to be wedged. Then switch the last priority group (H) with whatever group you chose to be on the dash. Whatever configuration you get, make it the opposite since you switched groups. And when I use this method I end up getting S when the top one should be R.
