| How to determine the D vs L isomer |
|
Definition
| To determine the D vs L isomer, look at the stereocenter farthest away from the carbonyl group. The D isomer will have the -OH group on the right side[image] |

Definition
in the acyclic form, the aldose has the carbonyl group at the end of the molecule
[image]
In the cyclic form, aldoses have a hydrogen attached to the anomeric carbon

Term
|
Definition
the carbonyl group is moved from position 1 to position 2
acyclic form has another carbon only carbons attached to the carbonyl
[image]
the cyclic form - ketoses have a CH2 group attached to the anomeric carbon

Term
| Anomeric carbon: alpha vs. beta |
|
Definition
alpha - the -OH group is opposite the exocyclic methyl group
beta - the -OH group is on the same side as the exocyclic methyl group[image] |
