The d/l system (named after Latin dexter and laevus, right and left) names molecules by relating them to the molecule glyceraldehyde. Glyceraldehyde is chiral, and its two isomers are labeled d and l (typically typeset in small caps in published work).

Konfiguracja D i L (konfiguracja względna) – sposób określania i nazywania izomerów optycznych związków chemicznych poprzez analizę korelacyjną względem aldehydu glicerynowego.
26 sty 2016 · D-L system (also called Fischer–Rosanoff convention) is mainly used for naming α-amino acids and sugars. It compares the relative configurations of molecules to the enantiomers of glyceraldehyde. This convention is still in common use today.
24 maj 2017 · How to determine if a sugar is D- or L-, drawings of all the D- and L- aldotrioses, aldotetroses, aldopentoses, and aldohexoses, and the purpose of D vs L
D and L designations of sugars are based on the position of the hydroxyl on the chiral carbon farthest from the carbonyl group in the Fischer projection of the molecule. All D-sugars have the –OH on the right side and L-sugars have the –OH on the left side.
Draw the Fischer projection formula for a monosaccharide, given its systematic name, complete with the configuration of each chiral carbon atom. The D,L-Configuration of Monosaccharides. Using D-glyceraldehyde as the starting compound, the complete series of D-monosaccharides can de be developed.
D and L notation is determined based on the chiral carbon farthest from the C=O carbonyl group (penultimate carbon). In D-sugars the OH group is on the right. In L-sugars the OH group is on the left.
