  2. Fischer projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fischer_projection

    In chemistry, the Fischer projection, devised by Emil Fischer in 1891, is a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional organic molecule by projection. Fischer projections were originally proposed for the depiction of carbohydrates and used by chemists, particularly in organic chemistry and biochemistry .

  3. Emil Fischer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emil_Fischer

    Hermann Emil Louis Fischer FRS FRSE FCS (German pronunciation: [ˈeːmiːl ˈfɪʃɐ] ⓘ; 9 October 1852 – 15 July 1919) was a German chemist and 1902 recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. He discovered the Fischer esterification. He also developed the Fischer projection, a symbolic way of drawing asymmetric carbon atoms. He also ...

  4. Hexose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexose

    Two important hexoses, in the Fischer projection. In chemistry , a hexose is a monosaccharide (simple sugar) with six carbon atoms. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The chemical formula for all hexoses is C 6 H 12 O 6 , and their molecular weight is 180.156 g/mol. [ 3 ]

  6. Ribose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribose

    L-Ribose Fischer Projection. Ribose is a simple sugar and carbohydrate with molecular formula C 5 H 10 O 5 and the linear-form composition H−(C=O)−(CHOH) 4 −H. The naturally occurring form, d-ribose, is a component of the ribonucleotides from which RNA is built, and so this compound is necessary for coding, decoding, regulation and expression of genes.

  7. Asymmetric induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymmetric_induction

    Asymmetric induction was introduced by Hermann Emil Fischer based on his work on carbohydrates. [2] Several types of induction exist. Internal asymmetric induction makes use of a chiral center bound to the reactive center through a covalent bond and remains so during the reaction. The starting material is often derived from chiral pool synthesis.

  9. Pyranose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyranose

    Haworth Projection of β-D-glucopyranose. Hermann Emil Fischer won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry (1902) for his work in determining the structure of the D-aldohexoses. [1] However, the linear, free-aldehyde structures that Fischer proposed represent a very minor percentage of the forms that hexose sugars adopt in solution.
