Newmann to Fischer
« on: March 29, 2010, 12:36:23 AM »
How do you convert a Newmann projection of a molecule into its Fischer projection. Can a plane of symmetry be identified from Newmann projection?

Newmann projection can be easily converted to the sawhorse form... just a little bit of visualization.
Now it's easy to convert sawhorse into Fischer projection. Please let me know if you're comfortable with both these techniques, because they are quite important.

Not quite. Can you please suggest a good online source from where I can learn these? My books don't discuss this topic well, rather goes straight into problems.  :(

For Newmann to sawhorse, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newman_projection. The picture is self-explanatory.
