Sep 14, 2016 at 7:26 comment added Martin - マーチン Yes. It's in the very same article you linked: "If two identical substituents are attached to a sp3-hybridized atom, the descriptors pro-R and pro-S are used to distinguish between the two."

Sep 14, 2016 at 7:23 comment added user14857 @Martin-マーチン So say even a carbon containing two H should be considered prochiral?
Sep 14, 2016 at 7:19 comment added Martin - マーチン No, I am referring to all carbons. There is not a bit of symmetry in that compound.

Sep 14, 2016 at 7:14 comment added user14857 @Martin-マーチン You are correct.S should not be prochiral here.I guess you are referring to the double bonded carbons?
Sep 14, 2016 at 7:13 comment added user14857 @orthocresol Thanks.I get you.But what about the double bonded carbons?
Sep 14, 2016 at 7:12 comment added Martin - マーチン Well, sulfur is not carbon. You should consider any carbon that could be a chiral centre with one conversion. Hint: Almost all of them are.
Sep 14, 2016 at 7:12 comment added orthocresol The S atom is already chiral.
