Question

Which fisher projection represents the given wedge dash structure:

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A

The given structure represents wedge-dash of a compound. The structures I to IV represents Fischer projection for the same compound. The Fischer projection I is the correct representation of given Wedge-Dash Notation.
In wedge-Dash notation for three dimensional representation of an organic molecule, the dashed bond represents a bond below the plane of the paper. The wedged bond represents a bond above the plane of the paper.
In a fischer projection, the vertical lines are oriented away from you and the horizontal lines are oriented towards you.
