Fischer projections can be overwhelming, but they don't have to be.
My new guide will help you recognize and draw fishcer projections, finding R and S when there is one or more chiral center, convert between Fischer and sawhorse or Newman, and finally draw pyranose and furanose rings for sugar molecules.

Hi there,
Is there a mistake on the second row, third image? Both the dashes and wedge say they’re going into the page. Sorry if I am mistaken!
Thank you.
I’m cramming for finals and unfortunately missed the lectures on sugars and fisher projections. Nothing I found laid it out clearly enough for me to understand how everything went together. Your explanation of where the attacks take place finally helped it click for me! Thank you
Sorry you missed your lecture david but I’m glad to help
Saving lives one Fischer projection at a time. Thank you!
LOL thanks Bridgett
This page is extremely helpful and well-put-together. You have significantly improved my understanding of stereochemistry and how the different projections relate to eachother. Thank you for explaining it all so well!
That’s awesome Audra! Glad to help
STUDY MATERIAL IS AWESOME
Thank you
