Question

Draw the Fischer Projection for each of the following wedge-dash structures:

Short answer

Part a) The Fischer projection structure for the given wedged structure is shown.

Step-by-step solution

Introduction (Part a)

• Carbohydrates are the most abundant class of organic molecules on the planet.
• Carbohydrates account for approximately $75\%$of the dry planet's bulk.

Explanation(Part a)

• Fischer devised a simplified method for depicting the atom configurations around the chiral carbons.
• Vertical lines in this three-dimensional structure represent bonds that extend backward from a carbon atom, while horizontal lines represent bonds that extend forward.
• The intersections of horizontal and vertical lines depict chiral carbon atoms.

Draw the Fischer projection for given structures(Part a)

In this structure, Hydroxy and Bromide have wedged bonds, which means that in the Fischer projection there are horizontal.

Explanation(Part b)

• Fischer devised a simplified method for depicting the atom configurations around the chiral carbons.
• Vertical lines in this three-dimensional structure represent bonds that extend backward from a carbon atom, while horizontal lines represent bonds that extend forward.
• The intersections of horizontal and vertical lines depict chiral carbon atoms.

Draw the Fischer projection for given structures(Part b) 

In this structure, Hydroxy and hydrogen have wedged bonds, which means that in the Fischer projection there are horizontal.

Explanation(Part c)

• Fischer devised a simplified method for depicting the atom configurations around the chiral carbons.
• Vertical lines in this three-dimensional structure represent bonds that extend backward from a carbon atom, while horizontal lines represent bonds that extend forward.
• The intersections of horizontal and vertical lines depict chiral carbon atoms.

Step 7:Draw the Fischer projection for given structures(Part c) 

In this structure, Hydrogen and hydroxy have wedged bonds, which means that in the Fischer projection there are horizontal.
