Part II. Functional Group and Stereoisomer Identification Shown below is citalopram, a molecule in the class of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIS) that is used to treat depression. Circle all functional groups and name the associated class for each (bonus point for naming an additional class not talked about in this class). Additionally, put an asterisk (*) next to any chiral centers on the molecule. Celexa is the generic name for citalopram and is a racemic (equal) mixture of the enantiomers of citalopram. Draw the enantiomers of this molecule next to the molecule. Many studies have shown that one specific enantiomer of citalopram ("S") is the one capable of inhibition of serotonin reuptake. Lexapro is the brand name for the purified form of the S- enantiomer of citalopram. Explain briefly why Lexapro is more expensive than Celexa.

Circle ONE: reactants products Explanation:
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.
