Gluciden and Glucose Reactions

Vocabulary flashcards reviewing glucose reaction pathways, derivative compounds, and mutarotation based on lecture notes.

Mutarotation

The interconversion process between $\beta\text{-D-Glucose}$ and $\alpha\text{-D-Glucose}$.

Glucuronate

An oxidation derivative of $\beta\text{-D-Glucose}$ formed by oxidation at carbon 6 ($\text{C}_6$).

Gluconolactone

An oxidation derivative formed from $\beta\text{-D-Glucose}$ via oxidation.

Sorbitol

A sugar alcohol produced through the reduction of $\alpha\text{-D-Glucose}$.

Glucose 6-phosphate

A phosphate ester (fosforzuurester) formed by the esterification of $\beta\text{-D-Glucose}$ at carbon 6.

$$\alpha\text{-D-Mannose}$$

A stereoisomer formed from glucose through the process of epimerization.

D-Fructose

A sugar molecule formed from glucose via epimerization.

$$\alpha\text{-Methyl-glucoside}$$

A compound produced from $\alpha\text{-D-Glucose}$ through glycoside formation.

Glucose Reaction Pathways

A diagram illustrating mutarotation between $\beta\text{-D-Glucose}$ and $\alpha\text{-D-Glucose}$, alongside pathways for oxidation, reduction, esterification, epimerization, and glycoside formation.
