Question
Chapter 24, Problem 49DSP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The hexose shown by the Fischer projection is to be identified from given list of hexoses.
Concept introduction:
Aldohexoses possess four chirality centers; thus, they can have sixteen stereoisomers. Eight of them are D sugars while the remaining eight are L sugars.
Sugars having configuration D and L are enantiomers of each other. Hence, theyare mirror images of each other.

Here is the professor's solution to the problem. However, I do NOT understand the solution. Please explain the answer in a clear step-by-step fashion to me. Explain the answer provided in the image in a clear fashion and as if I did not know much about organic chemistry. It seems to me like the professor is making the problem more complicated than it has to be. Can you demystify or simplify this problem about D glucose?
How can you assign priorities on a Fischer projection? I don't get it.
Here is the complete solution. Please explain it in a basic way.
Which of the following distinguished scientists is correctly identified? There may be more than one correct answer.
Adolf von Baeyer proposed the importance of ring strain
Louis Vuitton separated crystals of tartaric acid and hence isolated enantiomers of tartaric acid
Vladimir Prelog worked with Robert S. Cahn and Sir Christopher Ingold to establish the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority system for nomenclature
Emil Fischer invented the Fischer projection to facilitate the depiction of stereochemical relationships.
The LD50 (“Lethal Dose, 50 %”) is a value used in toxicology which gives the amount of a substance required to kill 50 % of a test population. It is usually reported based on body weight. For racemic carvone LD50 is reported as 1640 mg/kg.
1. Would it consider carvone to be toxic to an average person? Explain.
2. Would it be expected this the LD50 value to be the same for each enantiomer? Explain at the molecular level in stereochemical terms.
