Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Three-dimensional representation of a given Fischer projection should be drawn.

General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry - 4th edition, Chapter 15, Problem 48P , additional homework tip  1

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).

Convert each three-dimensional representation into a Fischer projection.
Convert each ball-and-stick model to a Fischer projection.
Draw 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)-butan-2-ol
