BR Orgo example 3.3 Chirality

[baronz]

In Br orgo ch 3 example 3.3 in the solution for the second chiral carbon why does it show the arrow going 1 to 3 to 2 leading to S chirality? If it went 1-2-3 it would be R. I'm confused. Is this a typo or am i missing something? Are the prioritizations correct in the picture?

Looks like it should be R to me.

Wheres the 4th group on the chiral carbon? If the 4th priority group points out of the screen toward you, then it would be R since it should be reversed when you orient it toward the back. If this is not the case, then it should be R

it says #4 is in back.

The chirality and direction are correct but priority groups 2 and 3 should be reversed. C incorrectly labeled 2 has Oxygen and Hydrogens whereas C incorrectly labeled 3 has Oxygen and more C's to give a higher priority.

I agree - it's S, they've screwed up 2 and 3.
