Question
ITEM #5 (Everyone should look at this question).
Consider the two Fischer projections shown at right. They
CH
CH
are NOT of the same molecule.
H-
-HO-
HO
In a short paragraph, explain why the molecules shown
are NOT the same.
OH
но-
H.
HO.
но
In your explanation, describe how the groups of a Fischer
projection are positioned in the ACTUAL molecule (Are
the molecules flat in real life, or three-dimensional in real
life? If three-dimensional, where exactly are the Hs and OHs
positioned when one interprets these projections?)
H-
HO
но
H-
CH,OH
ČH;OH
Also in your explanation, describe why the second molecule is not simply the first
molecule flipped over (like a pancake).
