Interpretation:
Fisher projections are of two type D stereoisomers and L stereoisomer. You have to decide a given fisher projection is either D stereoisomers or L stereoisomers.
Concept introduction:
The three- dimensional structure stereoisomers on a plane represents the Fisher projections.
In the Fischer projection, a chiral carbon represented as intersection of horizontal and vertical line.
The horizontal lines are shown by bonds pointing above the plane and vertical lines as bonds pointing below the plane.
In fisher projection, the carbonyl group of
D and L classification based on the furthest chiral C from ketone or aldehyde.
D: if
L: it
