N2 - This communication highlights the need of building hierarchical digraphs for the unequivocal assignment of stereochemical descriptors of (-)-myrtenal, a naturally-occurring oxygenated monoterpene whose absolute configuration (AC) is sometimes misrepresented in its structural formulae. Differentiation between duplicated atoms and phantom atoms for the proper application of the sequence rules is shown to be an essential step to get a proper construction of hierarchical digraphs.
