Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of glucuronide formed by the reaction of $\beta -\text{D}$-glucuronic acid and phenol 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.  A sugar molecule in which hydroxyl groups of first and sixth carbon atom are on the same side is known as $\alpha$ sugar, otherwise $\beta$ sugar.
