Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Three-dimensional representation of a given Fischer projection should be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Fischer Projection is a method of drawing 3-D structures of organic molecules using cross formula. In this method, all non-terminal bonds are depicted as horizontal or vertical lines.
In the Fischer projection, horizontal bonds represent groups coming forward (drawn as wedges) and vertical bonds represent groups going backward (drawn as dashed wedges).

- Draw the mirror image in Fischer Projection ("flat representation").arrow_forwardHow are the Fischer projection formulas in each pair related to each other? Are they identical or are they enantiomers?arrow_forwardFor those that have only one stereocenter draw Fischer projection(s) of the S-stereoisomer placing the 4 and 2 positions on the vertical line.arrow_forward
- Drawing sugars to and from fischer projectionsarrow_forwardDraw a Fischer projection for each compound. Remember that the cross represents an asymmetric carbon atom, and the carbon chain should be along the vertical, with the IUPAC numbering from top to bottom.(R)-glyceraldehyde,arrow_forwardConvert the Fischer projection to a perspective formula.
