Concept explainers
a.
To identify:
The given monosaccharide is D- or L- isomer.
Introduction:
The D and L isomers are described by the Fischer projection, in which the horizontal lines present on a chiral center represent wedges and vertical lines on a chiral center represent dashes. This is one of the quick and easy ways of identifying the chiral center numbers.
b.
To identify:
The monosaccharides as D- or L- isomers.
Introduction:
The D and L isomers are described by the Fischer projection, in which the horizontal lines present on a chiral center represent wedges and vertical lines on a chiral center represent dashes. This is one of the quick and easy ways of identifying the chiral center numbers.
c.
To identify:
The given monosaccharide is D-isomer or L-isomer.
Introduction:
The D and L isomers are described by the Fischer projection, in which the horizontal lines present on a chiral center represent wedges and vertical lines on a chiral center represent dashes. This is one of the quick and easy ways of identifying the chiral center numbers.
