Concept explainers
a.
Interpretation:
Chiral centers in the given monosaccharide has to be labelled, the monosaccharide has to be classified as D or L and also the enantiomer of the given monosaccharide has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
A carbon atom that is bonded to four different groups is known as a chiral carbon atom. This can rotate the plane polarized light. D- and L- isomers of monosaccharide can be identified by looking into the chiral center that is farther from the carbonyl group. In a Fischer projection, if the
Enantiomers are two stereoisomers of a compound that rotate the plane polarized light exactly opposite. The configuration present in the enantiomers will be exactly opposite to each other.
b.
Interpretation:
Chiral centers in the given monosaccharide has to be labelled, the monosaccharide has to be classified as D or L and also the enantiomer of the given monosaccharide has to be drawn.
