The tea leaves that contain the caffeine to be isolated are predominantly composed of cellulose, a natural and extremely abundant polymer of glucose. Look up the chair structure of B-D-glucose (B-D-glucopyranose, the monomer from which the cellulose polymer is composed). Draw this structure, draw the flipped chair, and indicate which conformer you think is more stable, if either. BRIEFLY explain your choice.
