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.

Great idea sharing this post. Saw horses are really important and essential for all. It is used many kinds of work. Useful article sharing this post.
Leah mam you are the best……Thank you so much for making organic so easy !
you are the best greatest teacher and thanks very much for helping in my exam.
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
