In this video you’ll learn all about Fischer projections including what they are, how to read them, how to quickly draw and convert 3D molecules into Fischer projection and back without ever having to build a model kit.
You’ll learn a number of different methods for converting 3D to Fischer from small molecules containing a single chiral center, to complex molecules like D-Glucose containing multiple chiral centers.
You’ll also learn what happens when you rotate a Fischer Projection 90 and 180 degrees.

[@hellowfromtheotherside]

thank you sooo mucchhhh, this is the only video i understand after hours and hours trying to understand it 😭😭

[@Leah4sciMCAT]

I am SO happy to help you understand it quickly and easily!

[@user-tw8tj3lw3i]

Great video. The left/right eye method is one in which I will never understand. I'm sticking with the R/S guess/check method

I don't want to know where Mr. Organic Chemistry wears his second bow tie. I knew he was a perv. 😂

[@Leah4sciMCAT]

😆🤦 on his neck? on the first button of his shirt?
