Draw the Fischer projections for D-fructose and L-fructose.

Short Answer

D-Fructose and L-Fructose Fischer projections-

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

We have to draw the fisher projection of D-Fructose and L-Fructose

02

Explanation

In a D-isomer, the - OH bunch is available on the right half of the chiral carbon. In L-isomer, the -OH bunch is available towards the left of the chiral carbon in the Fischer projection. In the event that a compound has more than one chiral carbon, the isomer is assigned as L or D, contingent upon the place of the - OH bunch present chiral carbon farthest from the carbonyl carbon.
