Chapter 18, Problem 18.74P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The given cyclic sugar is to be named.

Concept introduction:

The name of a cyclic sugar is derived from its corresponding acyclic sugar. Depending on the sides of the anomeric $\text{OH}$ and ${\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}\text{OH}$ substituents, the name of the sugar changes. If the anomeric $\text{OH}$ and ${\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}\text{OH}$ substituents are on the opposite sides, the corresponding anomer is an $\text{α anomer}$. If the anomeric $\text{OH}$ and ${\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}\text{OH}$ substituents are on the same side, then the corresponding anomer is a $\text{β anomer}$. The six-membered cyclic form of sugar is called a pyranose, and the five-membered form is called a furanose.
