Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The Fischer projection formula for
Concept introduction: The fischer formula can be sketched by using the following rules:
- • The chiral center is assumed to be in the plane of paper.
- • Two of the bonds are considered pointing towards the page.
- • Two of the bonds are considered pointing outwards the page.
- • The intersection of horizontal and vertical lines represents the chiral center.
- • The horizontal lines are the lines pointing outwards of the page.
- • The vertical lines are the lines pointing towards the page.
