Welcome back, everyone propose a plausible fissure projection of the C four epimer of the Talos, determine the name of this monosaccharide. So first of all, we're going to draw the structure of the Talos. What we want to do specifically in this problem is simply draw its fissure projection, right. And what we're going to do is draw a vertical line. And we have to recall that the D Talos starts with cho for carbon number one, we have an aldehyde followed by a total of four chiral carbon atoms. One, two, we and four. So we're drawing horizontal lines and now we simply want to fill out the atoms. First of all, we have two hydroxy groups on the left, one more on the left and then one on the right, the remaining bonds would be the carbon hydrogen bonds. We now finish with carbon number six, which is C H2O H. That's the structure of the tallow. And now we want to draw its C four. Now how would that work? Well, we essential one tore through the same structure. Remove the original name because it will have a different name. We want to identify the fourth carbon atom. So let's count our carbon atoms starting with an aldehyde, which is carbon number one. By definition, then we have carbons 2345 and six. Now let's focus on carbon number four because it says C four Eimer and omers. Well, they basically are di asters which differ in configuration only at one position. And in this case, that's carbon number four. So we want to change the configuration of the carl position number four. And we can do that by swapping the two substituents or groups, right. So essentially we had hydroxy group on the left. Now we want to have it on the right side of the structure, which means that hydrogen is now on the left side. And we have got the final structure for this problem. We simply want to name it. So now its configuration will be the same. It will be d because we haven't changed the position of the hydroxy group at carbon number five. Now, if we carefully analyze it, well, we have cho followed by two hydroxy groups on the left, two hydroxy groups on the right and then chtoh, which is manos. So the structure that we have drawn or basically the C four epimer of the Talos is the meals. Thank you for watching.
