Chemistry of
Carbohydrate
s
Classification of carbohydrates, reducing and non-reducing sugars, General Properties of Glucose and Fructose,
their open chain structure. Epimers, mutarotation and anomers. Mechanism of mutarotation Determination of
configuration of Glucose (Fischer’s proof). Cyclic structure of glucose. Haworth projections. Cyclic structure of
fructose. Inter conversions of sugars (ascending and descending of sugar series, conversion of aldoses to ketoses).
Lobry de Bruyn-van Ekenstein rearrangement; stepping–up (Kiliani Fischer method) and stepping–down (Ruff’s
&Wohl’s methods) of aldoses; end-group interchange of aldoses Linkage between monosachharides, structure of
disacharrides (sucrose, maltose, lactose.)
