Draw the Fischer projection formula for a simple monosaccharide. 

Do not rotate a Fischer projection formula in the plane of the page, because you might inadvertently convert a compound into its enantiomer. When using Fischer projections it is usually best to convert them to structures with wedges and dashes, and then manipulate them. Although a Fischer projection formula can be used for the stereogenic center in any compound, it is most commonly used for monosaccharides.

The Fischer projection is a convenient way of showing the configurations of the linear forms of monosaccharides. This convention depicts the concepts of stereochemistry established by Jacobus Henricus van t Hoff and Joseph Achille Le Bel in a simplified form. While these abbreviated structural formulas are simple to write and easy to visualize, there are some guidelines that should be taken into account when converting a three-dimensional structure into a Fischer projection and in its manipulation (Fig. 1.2) ... 

Figure 4.1 shows the formulas and names for D-aldoses using simplified Fischer projections. The occurrence of aldoses of importance in food is compiled in Table 4.1. Epimers are monosaccharides which differ in configuration at only one chiral C-atom. D-Glucose and D-mannose are 2-epimers. D-glucose and D-galactose are 4-epimers. 

Glucose, galactose, and fructose are the most important monosaccharides. They are all hexoses with the molecular formula C5H12O6 and are isomers of each other. Although we can draw Fischer projections for their d and l stereoisomers, the d stereoisomers are more commonly found in nature and used in the cells of the body. The Fischer projections for...
