Which of the following generla rules for switching ligands or rotaing Fischer structures is incorrect?

A

An even number of switches results in no change in the configuration

B

An odd number of switches changes the configuration to that of the enantiomer

C

The structure cannot be rotated out of the plane of the paper

D

The structure can be rotated in the plane through `90^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Any rotation of Fisher projections that interconverts horizontal and vertical ligands is not allowed. Hence, the structure can be rotated in the plane through `180^(@)` or its multiples but not through `90^(@)`
