The following compound has two asymmetric centers and four stereoisomers. Two of these are d-erythrose and d-threose, which are naturally occurring sugars. The configuration of d-erythrose is (2R,3R), and the configuration of d-threose is (2S,3R).
a. Which structure represents d-erythrose? b. Which represents d-threose?
Assign R or S configuration to each chirality center, and indicate whether they are D or L sugars.
The following is a Fischer projection of galactitol, a sugar alcohol. For a Fischer projection, horizontal bonds point towards you, vertical bonds point at the back. Assign R or S configurations to the chirality centers of galactitol. Is galactitol optically active? Why or why not?
