Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The Fischer projections of all 2-ketopentose need to be drawn along with their descriptions as D-2-ketopentoses, L-2-ketopentoses and enantiomers.

Concept Introduction: A convention used to represent a 3-D stereoformula in 2-D representation is said to be Fischer projections. In this projection, the vertical lines represent bonds below the plane of the paper and horizontal lines represents bonds above the plane of the paper.

For a D-sugar, the -OH group attached to the bottom chiral carbon is present at the right-hand side whereas for L-sugar it is present at left-hand side.

Students have asked these similar questions
Draw and identify (R) and (S) enantiomers of lactic acid, CH3CH(OH)COOH. Use the proper conventions to draw Fischer projections.
How many d-aldoheptoses are possible? Draw the Fischer projection of one of them and its enantiomer.
The structure of 4 isomers of ketopentose are shown.  1) select every structure that is a diastereomer of structure D A, B, or C? 2) select every structure that is a enantiomer of structure C A, B, or D 3) select every structure that is a stereoisomer of structure C A, B, or D
