Concept explainers
a.
Interpretation:
Chiral centers in the given monosaccharide has to be labelled, the monosaccharide has to be classified as D or L, the enantiomer of the given monosaccharide has to be drawn and also the Fischer projection formula has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
A carbon atom that is bonded to four different groups is known as a chiral carbon atom. This can rotate the plane polarized light. D- and L- isomers of monosaccharide can be identified by looking into the chiral center that is farther from the carbonyl group. In a Fischer projection, if the
Enantiomers are two stereoisomers of a compound that rotate the plane polarized light exactly opposite. The configuration present in the enantiomers will be exactly opposite to each other.
Fischer projection formula simply uses cross for representing tetrahedral carbon atom. The carbon atom that is present in the intersection point in cross. The horizontal bonds means they are coming forward and they are present on wedge bond. The vertical bonds means they are pointing away and they are present on dashed lines.
