Fischer projections are primarily used to represent carbohydrates, which contain multiple stereocenters. The structure of carbohydrate D-glucose is shown below as a Fischer projection with each carbon numbered. For each carbon, find the absolute configuration (R or S) if it is a stereocenter, or indicate that it is not a stereocenter. Completely fill in the circle in front of your chosen answer. D-Glucose H- HO- H H CHO 2 3 4 5 -OH -H -OH -OH 6 CH₂OH Carbon 1: OR OS O Not a stereocenter Carbon 4: OR OS O Not a stereocenter Carbon 2: OR OS O Not a stereocenter Carbon 5: OR OS O Not a stereocenter Carbon 3: OR OS O Not a stereocenter Carbon 6: OR OS O Not a stereocenter
