Question

Among all the given compounds, which will have D-configuration?

• A. 5 and 15
• B. 5 and 16 have D-configuration?
• C. 2 and 16
• D. 2 and 15 CH2OH

Hint:

In Fischer projections, D-configuration occurs when the hydroxyl group is on the right side of the vertical line.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To determine the D-configuration, we observe the orientation of the hydroxyl group (-OH) relative to the carbon atom. The D-configuration is given when the hydroxyl group is on the right-hand side of the Fischer projection. Thus, the compounds that have D-configuration are 5 and 15.
