To-do list for Fischer projection: edit · history · watch · refresh

Here are some tasks you can do:
  • Expand:
    • Provide better reference for its origin (did Fischer publish the concept?) and how quickly it became adopted.
    • Mention other types of projection used in organic chemistry in the prose.
    • Explain why a Fisher projection with more than one stereocenter cannot accurately represent the molecule visually (an atom cannot be both below and above its neighbour).
