Concept explainers
a.
For the below compound (Enantiomer) Fischer projection has to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Fischer projections:
In Fischer projection, the chirality center of the organic compounds are drawn using the following convention. First, the carbon atom is placed at the meeting point of the two lines of the cross. In a tetrahedron structure, the horizontal bonds indicate forward and denoted by wedges. The vertical bonds indicate backward and denoted by dashed lines. Finally, Fischer projection structure is abbreviated by cross formula.
Enantiomers:
Enantiomers are mirror image of the other and these are chiral molecules,but that are non superimposableon one another.
b.
Interpretation:
For the below compound (Enantiomer) Fischer projection has to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Refer to part ‘a.’.
