galactose configuration is wrong I suppose.
D-galactose can be obtained by flipping configuration at C-4 for D-glucose. Now to convert D to L, configuration at C-5 is flipped too. This results in a structure, where -OH groups point to the left on C-3, C-4 and C-5

Can you tell me which software did you use to draw the Haworth projection? I’ve been using ChemDraw 21.0, but I found the template nowhere. Thank you!

Spent two hours trying to fold lines in my head and failing, then I remembered I was a member of this website, and in a paragraph, everything’s clear. Thank you very much, you did a very good job and saved me a lot of time !

In reply to Cathy.

Cathy – I’m not sure I understand your question – Fischer and Haworth projections are just different ways of drawing the same molecule.

In reply to Eduards.

For L-galactose? Are you sure? It’s the opposite of D-galactose, shown here… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galactose
