QuestionStereochemistry / Fischer and zig-zag projections
The Fischer projection formula and its corresponding zig-zag projection for the erythro configuration of the following compound are respectively :
- (a) Fischer: HO and CH₃HN both on the left (H's on the right), Ar on top, CH₃ at bottom; zig-zag: OH wedged at C1, NHCH₃ hashed at C2 with CH₃ continuing the chain
- (b) Fischer: HO and CH₃HN both on the left (H's on the right); zig-zag: OH wedged at C1, NHCH₃ in the chain at C2 with CH₃ hashed
- (c) Fischer: H–C–OH (OH right) over CH₃HN–C–H (NHCH₃ left); zig-zag: OH wedged at C1, NHCH₃ hashed at C2 with CH₃ continuing the chain
- (d) Fischer: H–C–OH (OH right) over CH₃HN–C–H (NHCH₃ left); zig-zag: OH wedged at C1, NHCH₃ in the chain at C2 with CH₃ hashed
