Site Upgrade in Progress —
We are currently upgrading organicchemistrydata.org to meet WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards.
This process involves significant reworking of over 2,500 pages across multiple collections.
While we are working to ensure a smooth transition, some resources may be temporarily affected.

Practice Problem
A structural formula of the the antitumor agent taxol is
displayed below. The eleven chiral centers are labled in
magenta.
A 3-D model of this compound is shown to its right. The molecule
can be moved by using the mouse and zoomed by the shift key.
The chiral centers of the model may be labeled in a similar fashion
by clicking the label button button.
You should provide a C.I.P. configuration for each chiral center,
and identify the configuration of the 11-double bond.
