Conformational Tug of War: A Technique for Converting Bond-Line Structures into Fischer Projections
Journal of Chemical Education, v98 n2 p678-681 Feb 2021
Undergraduate organic chemistry students, as they study conformational analysis and stereochemistry, frequently have trouble manipulating three-dimensional structures on a two-dimensional page or screen. The inability to accurately convert three-dimensional bond-line representations into Fischer projections is one example of this. While some students can utilize traditional approaches, other students require another way to visualize the molecule in order to perform the conversion. This text describes a method for converting bond-line structures of varying chain lengths and conformations into corresponding Fischer projections.
