ANSWER:

Step 1 of 6

In this multi-part exercise set, we’re asked to assign the configuration of each chirality center in the following compounds. Recall that (as a general rule),  for aldoses and ketoses the configuration at any given carbon can be determined by looking at the Fischer projection. If the OH group is pointing towards the right, that carbon has the R configuration; if the OH group is pointing towards the left, that carbon has the S configuration.
