CARBONS AND THUS HAS 16 ISOMERS.
OPTICAL ACTIVITY OF
SUGARS
OPTICAL ACTIVITY OF
SUGARS
OPTICAL ACTIVITY IS A CHATERISTIC FEATURE OF
COMPOUNDS WITH ASYMETRIC CARBON ATOM.
GLYCERAL DI
DEHYDE HYDROXY
ACETONE
MONOSACCHARIDE:
CLASSIFICATION BASED
ON THE NUMBER OF
CARBON ATOMS
MONOSACCHARIDES ARE REGARDED AS
TRIOSES (3C)
TETROSES (4C)
PENTOSES (5C)
HEXOSES (6C)
HEPTOSES (7C)
FOR EXAMPLE, GLUCOSE IS AN ALDOHEXOSE
FRUCTOSE IS AN KETOHEXOSE
REACTIONS
1.TAUTOMERIZATION OR ENOLIZATION :
THE PROCESS OF SHIFTING A HYDROGEN ATOM FROM
CARBON ATOM ANOTHER TO PRODUCE ENEDIOLS IS
KNOWN AS TAUTOMERIZATION.THIS REACTION
KNOWN AS THE LOBRY DE BRUYN –VON EKENSTEIN
TRANSFORMATION.
REDUCTION
WHEN TREATED WITH REDUCING AGENTS
SUCH AS SODIUM AMALGAM,THE
ALDEHYDE OR KETO GROUP OF
MONOSACCHARIDE IS REDUCED.
DEHYDRATION
WHEN TREATED WITH
CONCENTRATED SULFURIC ACID
,MONNDOSACCHARIDE UNDERGO
DEHYDRATION WITH AN
ELIMINATION OF 3 WATER
MOLECULES WITH PHENOLIC
COMPOUNDS(α-NAPTHOL) TO FORM
