Chapter 5, Problem 5.22P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The enantiomer of D-allose, as a Fischer projection, is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Enantiomers of a molecule with multiple chiral centers are obtained by inverting the configuration at all chiral centers. This can be done in three ways with the Fischer projection of the molecule – exchanging any two of the four groups attached to the chiral center, taking its mirror image, and rotating the Fischer projection through ${\text{90}}^{\text{o}}$ in the plane of the paper.
