Chapter 17, Problem 17.28E

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Whether the Haworth structure represents an $\text{α}$ or a $\text{β}$ form is to be stated and the structure of the other anomer is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

The structural representation of sugar molecule in cyclic form is known as Haworth projection. Sugar molecule that has six-membered-ring is known as pyranose and sugar molecule that has five-membered ring is called furanose.
