Stereochemistry, PLZ HELP!
ok far left is the original problem
i manipulated it so that hydrogen and cyanide is facing me, but in order to determine R/S configuration. hydrogen must be going away from me, correct? so i flipped it so that it is not going away from me, and i determined it to be S.
but on paper, for correct representation of a Fischer Projection, i would draw the one that has my horizontal plane coming towards me, correct? (the one circled)
please confirm this for me! any advice is appreciated.
