Ephedrine and Pseudoephedrine Enantiomers

Models of ephedrine enantiomers are shown below. The (-)-enantiomer is on the left and the (+)-enantiomer on the right. You should manipulate and view these models to confirm the R and S configurational assignments made in the diagram. Equivalent models of the pseudoephedrine enantiomers may also be selected for examination.
