Question

draw a stable conformation of this compound

This image depicts a Fischer projection of an organic molecule. Fischer projections are a two-dimensional representation of molecules used in organic chemistry to denote stereochemistry. ### Structure Breakdown: - **Central Vertical Line:** Represents the main carbon chain. - **Horizontal Lines:** Indicate bonds going out of the plane of the paper (toward the viewer). - **Top of Vertical Chain:** - **CH₃ (Methyl Group)** - **Carbon 3:** - Left: **CH₂OH (Hydroxymethyl Group)** - Right: **H (Hydrogen)** - **Carbon 2:** - Left: **H (Hydrogen)** - Right: **NH₂ (Amino Group)** - **Carbon 1:** - Left: **H (Hydrogen)** - Right: **F (Fluorine)** - **Bottom of Vertical Chain:** - **CH₂CH₃ (Ethyl Group)** This representation is useful for visualizing the stereochemistry of molecules, particularly when assessing chirality and the 3D arrangement of functional groups.
