Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The hemiacetal carbon of the given monosaccharide should be identified.
Concept introduction:
When an alcohol and ether group are attached to the same carbon, it is called the hemiacetal carbon.
(b)
Interpretation:
By identifying the unique features in the anomeric carbon, a or β nature should be decided.
Concept introduction:
Two anomers can be constructed as alpha (a) ** beta (β), depending on the configurational differences in the anomeric Carbon.
(c)
Interpretation:
By applying necessary amendments to the anomericcarbon of the given structure, βanomer should be derived.
Concept introduction:
In a cyclic simple sugar 2 anomers exists depending on the bond arrangement on anomeric carbon.
(d)
Interpretation:
A stereoisomer should be derived by making necessary changes to the C3position of the given monosaccharide.
Concept introduction:
When a carbon atom has 4 different entities bound to it, it is called as a stereocenter.
