Stereoisomer
atoms where swapping 2 groups gives a new molecule. Cis-trans is possible
How many stereoisomers does glucose have
16
When the OH group is on the right of the fisher projection
The OH points down on the haworth projection
When the OH group is on the left of the fisher projection
the OH points up on the haworth projection
oxidation of aldehyde
aldonic acid, where the aldehyde becomes a carboxylic acid
oxidation of aldehyde + terminal alcohol
aldaric acid. both ends are carboxylic acids
oxidation of terminal alcohol only
alduronic acid. aldehyde stays the same while terminal alcohol becomes a carboxylic acid
reduction of aldehyde
top aldehyde becomes a terminal alcohol. bottom terminal alcohol stays the same
Maltose
2 glucose units.
lactose
galactose and glucose
what does a galactose look like
glucose but carbon 4 is on the right, not the left in the fisher projection
fructose
it is a ketopentase not a aldohexase
sucrose
glucose + fructose
why does sucrose not reduce?
aldehydes are not present in the solution to undergo oxidation
