Fischer projection is a structure drawn with
vertical and horizontal lines
L and D are two
enantiomers
L is assigned when
OH is on the left side of the vertical line
How do you determine where to assign the L or D enantiomer
the OH group farthest away from the aldehyde or ketone
Most stable form for pentoses and hexoses are
cyclic rings, known as Haworth
what are the 2 forms termed in a haworth
anomers
which projection is in a straight line
fischer
which projection has an OH that can be drawn above or below the plane
haworth
when an OH group is drawn below the plane of the ring
alpha
OH group is above the plane of the ring
beta
Can rings reopen and close
yes
the carbon bearing the reactive carbonyl yielding two distinct configurations (α and β) are
hemiacetals and hemiketals.
what is the carbon called which is in rotation
anomeric carbon
what is it called when carbohydrates change spontaneously between a and B configurations
mutarotation
When drawn in the Haworth projection, the α configuration places the hydroxyl
downward
The spatial relationships of the atoms of the furanose and pyranose ring structures are more correctly described by the two conformations identified as the
chair form and the boat form.
is the chair form or boat form more stable
chair form
what are constitutes of the ring called that project above or below the plane of the ring
axial
what are constitutes called that project parrallel to the plane called
equilateral
