(a.)
(b.)
Short Answer
Expert verified
Answer
(a.) Fischer Projection formula of compound a.
(b.) Fischer Projection formula of compound b.
Step by step solution
01
Ball and Stick conformation
It represents the most staggered conformation. To convert it into Fischer projection, it should be converted into less stable eclipsed conformation.
The following steps are followed:
- Redraw the model as a skeletal structure and rotate it to place the carbonyl group at the top.
- Convert the staggard form to eclipsed form.
- Redraw the structure into wedge form.
- Then draw Fischer projection formula from it.
