Draw the dash–wedge structure that corresponds to the Fischer projection. The generic structure has been given. Leave the OH where it is. Change three of the hydrogen atoms on the generic structure to Cl, CH3, and CH3, so that it matches the Fischer projection. Please draw all four bonds at chiral centers. Use wedge and dash bonds at chiral centers only. Do not use wedges and dashes at non-chiral centers.
