Lactic Acid & Carvone Enantiomers

Models of the lactic acid enantiomers are shown below. The (S)-lactic acid configuration is on the left and the (R)-lactic acid is on the right. You should manipulate and view these models to confirm the R and S configurational assignments. Equivalent models of the carvone enantiomers may also be selected for examination.
