Chapter 22, Problem 20P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structural formulas of the given compounds are to be represented.

Concept Introduction:

▸ There are many ways of representing biomolecules, Fischer projection formula, Haworth’s formulas and chair form are few such methods.

▸ Fischer’s projection method represents the structure of $\text{D(+)}-\text{Glucose}$ with the cross formulation of the open chain structures of aldoses such as $\text{D}-\text{Glucose}$.

▸ The Haworth formulas demonstrate the cyclic form of glucose acetals6-carbon-atom rings. It represents the chirality center of the open-chain form through the cyclic forms. The chair form conformations represent the most accurate conformations of the ring structures.
