Converting between sawhorse and Fischer projections is a critical skill in understanding your chiral molecules.
Even if you’re not required to DRAW conversions on your exam, knowing HOW is a critical skill to truly understanding the nature of chirality in Fischer Projections.
This video shows you my step by step + shortcut approach.

Excellent and lucrative style!
Thanks!
why do we need to rotate molecule ?
Iram: to analyze from different perspectives
How would you show CHO on carbon 2 in the fischer structure.?
CHO is sp2 so technically it doesn’t get shown in a fisher. See my glycolysis cheat sheet and notice how I draw the carbonyl for glucose and fructose.
Leah you are the best …. It’s because of you that I am getting a A+ on my tests … I love you!!!
That’s amazing to hear Jas. Congrats and keep it up
I think I love you, really
haha thanks Imanol
