Chapter 19, Problem 18P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The reason for forming furanose rings and sometimes pyranose rings from six-carbon sugars needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction: A common way of writing structural formula which represent the cyclic structure of monosaccharides is said to be the Haworth projection, which is best represented by chair conformations.
