Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The Fischer projection of the stereoisomer of Threonine which has two chiral centers with the configuration 2S,3R has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
The two dimensional representation of the molecules is known as Fischer projection. In Fischer projection, the atoms present on the horizontal plane are facing towards the front and the atoms present on the vertical plane are away from the plane.
When the atom is bonded to four different groups, based on the order of priority of the groups present, if it gets clock wise rotation then it is said to be in R-configuration, if the order of priority of the functional groups give anti-clock wise rotation, then it is said to be S-configuration.
(b)
Interpretation:
The three dimensional representation of the stereoisomer of Threonine which has two chiral centers with the configuration 2S,3R has to be drawn.

- What does chirality mean? What is the difference between diastereomers and enantiomers?arrow_forwardDraw one regioisomer and one stereoisomer and assign R/S for chiral centers. Galantamine Structurearrow_forwardWith the exception of Glycine, all amino acids are chiral. Two amino acids have actually more than one chiral carbon: draw the structures of these amino acids at pH 7.0 and indicate the locations of the chiral centers in each of these structures.arrow_forward
- A student decided that the configuration of the asymmetric centers in a sugar such as d-glucose could be determined rapidly by simply assigning the R configuration to an asymmetric center with an OH group on the right and the S configuration to an asymmetric center with an OH group on the left. Is he correct?arrow_forward2) What is the difference between stereoisomers and enantiomers?arrow_forwardWhat can be used to determine whether two compounds are identical,enantiomers, or diastereomers ?arrow_forward
