Stereochemistry


   
 
Fischer Projection
The intersection of the horizontal and vertical lines represents the chiral center (the chiral carbon).
 
The horizontal lines indicate bonds directed towards the reader.
 
The vertical lines indicate bonds directed away from the reader.
 
By rotating through an angle of 180o within the plane of paper, Fischer projection formula retain their configuration for e.g., by rotating (a) by 180o, (b) is got.
