Convert the Fischer projection to a perspective formula.

Convert the Fischer projection to a perspective formula.

Convert the following perspective formulas to Fischer projections.

(a)

(b)

For each Fischer projection,

1. make a model.

2. draw the mirror

3.. determine whether the mirror is the same as, or different from, the original ­structure.

4. draw any mirror planes of symmetry that are apparent from the Fischer projections.

(c)

(d)

For each set of examples, make a model of the first structure, and indicate the relationship of each of the other structures to the first structure. Examples of relationships: same compound, enantiomer, structural isomer.
