Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The description of the reaction between fructose and phenylhydrazine using the Fischer projection formula is to be represented; and the description of the information regarding stereochemistry, which can be obtained on the basis of this reaction is to be represented.

Concept Introduction:

▸ Stereochemistry: A carbon atom that has four different groups attached to it is called as a stereogenic or chirality center of that atom. A stereocenter is that point in a molecule, where any two groups exchange their places to form stereoisomers. Furthermore, the pair of diastereomers that show different configuration at the chirality center are called epimers.

▸ Fischer projection is a way of representing the biomolecules with cross formulation of the open chain structures of D –- glucose.
