Fisher Projection
• Looks like a cross, with the asymmetric carbon (usually not drawn in) at the point where the
lines cross.
• Horizontal lines are taken to be wedges—that is, bonds that project out toward the viewer. The
vertical lines are taken to project away from the viewer, as dashed lines.
• Center drawing, with the wedged horizontal bonds looking like a bow tie, sometimes called
the “bow-tie convention.”
