I think I'm too retarded for CIP priority rules
Why is this not 2R, 3S?
For the number 2 carbon, the CH2OH group is first on the priority list, then the number 3 carbon group, then the hydroxide and finally the hydrogen.
Similarly for the number 3 carbon, the CHO group is first, then comes the number 2 carbon group, then the hydroxide and the hydrogen.
What the fuck am I missing here?
