    If there's an H on the side of the chiral center, find R and S normally and the opposite is the answer. if H is on the top/bottom and there's no other hydrogen on the sides, find R and S normally and that's your answer.

      That's a great way of looking at it!
      Yes! H on the side is forward so you must reverse as you do when #4 is forward
      H up or down means it's in the back and so you're good to go

      What if the substituents are A,B,C & D . Then we can't use the r and s. So how to differentiate which molecules are enantiomers, diasteromers,etc. Please make a video regarding such type of problemS.

  • @jean-michelmatthijssen5334

    With Fisher I find it easier to imagine the Fisher projection as 3D and than either see the above group as in the back (just rotate your screen with the top to the right) or with the right group in the back (means that the left group is shifted to the right in its Fisher projection.)
    Using either of these methods you can instantly draw an arrow with group 4 on the top (first method), the right (second method). Or inversed (group 4 is in the front) on the bottom (first method) or left (second method).

    • @Leah4sci

    Question: I thought that most amino acids have the absolute configuration of "S" while cysteine is supposed to be the exception, having "R"? However, you list cysteine as having an S configuration.

    • @Leah4sci

      at which point in the video? they can exist as R and S, it's just a question of knowing which one exists in the human system.

  • @amandamendoza2776

    When #4 is on the side, can you not trace 1-3 and do the opposite answer? Or do you have to do swap method for fischer projections? Because you did examples for newman projections with #4 in the front & doing the opposite answer rather than the swap method. I just want to make sure the same rules apply. Thank you :)

    • @Leah4sci
      @Leah4sci  Před 3 lety +1

      Yes, that is an excellent observation. The same rules would apply, and your method would work as well. Trace groups 1-3 when #4 is on the side of the Fischer projection and then change your answer to the opposite configuration.

    Why we did swaps min7:29? The H is out so why we did not track 123 and take the opposite of R which is S

    • @Leah4sci
      @Leah4sci  Před rokem

      This is just my method for determining R/S configurations in Fischer projections in the LEAST amount of time. You may find something else works for you! My method is to first swap the lowest priority group to the back of the molecule by placing it in either the up or down position and then to make a second swap for a total even number of swaps. This is so we don't have to reverse the direction of the configuration.

  • @aleksandrakacperczyk3338
    @aleksandrakacperczyk3338 Před 6 lety +1

    Why do we have to use the swap method (3:20) if #4 comes out of the page? Wouldn't it be correct if we just reversed the configuration? I don't get it... :

    In the multiple chiral center example doesnt it break the carbon skeleton if we use swap method on it . Can we break the carbon skeleton ? Will it not alter its original stereochemical position ?

    • @Leah4sci
      @Leah4sci  Před 2 lety

      We're not actually breaking bonds within the carbon skeleton. We are simply rearranging/swapping positions of priority for the purpose of assigning a configuration to the chiral center. Think of the swap method as a tool for determining configuration, not as a mechanism or a method of breaking or reforming bonds.

  • @yumiogawa8824

    2:52 make me confused because back mean, i thought OH(2) but Br(1) becomes to (4)

    • @Leah4sci
      @Leah4sci  Před 5 měsíci

      In this example, we chose to make two swaps because an even number of swaps means that the configuration at the chiral center will not change. We want to maintain the chirality, so that we read the molecule correctly as either R or S. So the first swap was (1) with (4). And the second swap was (2) with (3).

  • @jessicacoyle1999
    @jessicacoyle1999 Před 3 lety

    Hi I was watching this video and for the Fischer projection atoms you start by putting H at the top of the atom in the first molecule but at the bottom in the next one which creates two molecules one which is S and one which is R how do you get around this as it is really confusing for me

    • @Leah4sci
      @Leah4sci  Před 3 lety

      Sorry to hear that you are confused. In a Fischer projection, the spine of the molecule is really on a ‘dash’ notation. Both the group that’s going up and the group that’s going down are ‘into the page.’ That means, if we can make sure #4 (the lowest priority group) is in the up OR down position of the Fischer projection, then we’re good to go and do NOT need to use the swap method to determine configuration.
