Converting Line Diagrams to Fischer Projections

[@fraz3591]

I was surprisingly able to understand just about every topic required for my first exam, EXCEPT Fischer projections. I watched so many videos and read through so many methods/examples on how to draw them, and nothing worked, however, this is quite literally the first and only tutorial I've come across that's actually enabled me to fully understand Fischer projections! Thank you so much!

a 10-minute video that helps me more than my prof did in 1/2 hour

Prof. sucks

[@MasterOrganicChem]

Thank you for the wonderful feedback

[@biancapries4177]

Thank you...for those of us that are "rotationally" challenged, this gives us a way to do these problems without completely screwing up when exam time comes. Which is today. In 45 minutes.

You are a life saver. My Organic Chem teacher at UCONN does not know how to teach.

9 years later and I’m just sitting here spiritually crying in sudden understanding after hours of flailing helplessly

[@MasterOrganicChem]

That's amazing, so glad!

[@dublo7]

Thanks so much. This is much more informative and useful than the Fischer Projections video that Khan Academy has on offer.

[@kavyapandrangi7241]

this is literally the best fischer projection video i've watched and the ONLY one i've understood thank you so much.

[@martincastagnino2098]

bruh wtf im from argentina, i have seen a freakin lot of videos of latin people and i didnt understand any of them. then i found this video, and now i understand everything. its amazing. and i aint an english expert or anything like that

[@MasterOrganicChem]

So happy the video was helpful to you!

[@karikosonen3047]

Thanks, i really needed this video! I have sat in the auditorium listening to lectures, and spent a long time trying to figure this out. But in the end it took only ten minutes 😀 This is the way to teach things!

[@poyrazmakarac7969]

Dude. Your videos are amazing. I have an exam next wednesday and my god...you answered almost all my fischer projection questions. I'm blind in one eye so perception and spacial orientation is really hard for me. YOu make it all very easy. I subscribed to you and will DEFINITELY be using all of your videos to help me study.

[@davidp9929]

Hi! Awesome Video, Super Helpful! One Question: When you numbered your carbons, did it matter which end you started at? 2 being the alcohol substituent and 3 being Chlorine substituent? If you started at the other end would it work as well - 3 being Alcohol and 2 being Chlorine?

[@MasterOrganicChem]

We know because carbon is tetrahedral; three of the orientations are known, and we can therefore deduce the fourth. For example the C attached to Cl, has two C-C bonds (in the page) and the C-Cl bond is a wedge. Therefore the "hidden" C-H bond will be a dash. For the C with the "dashed" C-OH bond, the C-H bond is a wedge.

[@sammalek12]

this is just a very good way to check my answer. in terms of understanding, it doesn't help. We need to know one of the two methods of converting a bond line to fischer which are either 1) rotate the molecule or 2) change the point of view of our selves(move our selves). The whole point of drawing a Fischer is to avoid coming up with those Rs and S configurations for compounds that have way too many stereocenters.

At 0:30 you draw the hidden hydrogens. How do you know where the hidden hydrogens are pointing and whether or not they are ponting into the page, out of the page, or in line with the page?

[@Christy72297]

THANK YOU for the through explanation!

[@victorianorelli3269]

So up to 3:14 in the video, you said that if the H was dashed, then it would be an R. however, since it's not, it's an S. Can you explain why we have to reverse it?

[@dyrenbrown869]

+Victoria Norelli because it is not dashed. easier to see with a physical ball and stick model

[@JohnJames-vt9mw]

Quick question, does it matter which to put at the top and bottom or not, you didn't cover that, I would've thought that H and OH we're supposed to be there since they're both dashed in relation to the strangling method so why arent they there? Or am I missing out something? 😩

in the fischer projection both the atoms on the horizontal line point outward right? but where exactly are they? how can they be at the same point? do they just stay side by side in 3 dimensional space?

wouldn't cl and h be swapped to fulfill the r rotation on the fisher? if its drawn h-cl, doesn't it make the viral center have s rotation?

[@slick_tick798]

I have one question. Why did you start labeling the carbon chain 1-4 on the right side and not the left? You didn't explain that, or does it not matter?

[@MasterOrganicChem]

+Amina 96 I was just using numbers to keep track of carbons, not IUPAC numbers. If I'd done it IUPAC it would have been from right to left.

[@LaosT5]

In iupac OH is priortized, so you want that to be attached to the lowest numbered carbon.

[@Reivivus]

You make sense!
