Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Three-dimensional representation of a given Fischer projection should be drawn.

General, Organic, & Biological Chemistry, Chapter 15, Problem 15.54P , additional homework tip  1

Concept Introduction:

Fischer Projection is a method of drawing 3-D structures of organic molecules using cross formula. In this method, all non-terminal bonds are depicted as horizontal or vertical lines.

In the Fischer projection, horizontal bonds represent groups coming forward (drawn as wedges) and vertical bonds represent groups going backward (drawn as dashed wedges).

Re-draw each Fischer projection formula using wedges and dashed wedgesfor the stereogenic center, and label the center as R or S.
Convert the Fischer projection to a perspective formula.
