QUESTION:
For each Fischer projection:
Make a model.Draw the mirror image.Determine whether the mirror image is the same as, or different from, the original structure.4. Draw any mirror planes of symmetry that are apparent from the Fischer projections.ANSWER:
Solution 18P:
Here, we are going draw the mirror image and symmetry for each molecule.
Step 1: Drawing Mirror Images of Fischer Projections
(a)
The mirror images are not same. Thus, it does not exist plane of symmetry. Therefore, the molecule is Chiral (enantiomers).
