Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
For the given monosaccharide, all the chirality centers should be labeled. The monosaccharide should be classified as D or L. The enantiomers should be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Chirality center is an atom which has four different groups attached to it.
The D and L sugars are classified based on the position of OH group on the chirality center which is farthest from the carbonyl group. If the OH group is on the right side, it is a D sugar. If the OH group is on left side it is a L sugar.
An enantiomer is one of the two stereoisomers which are the mirror image of each other and these enantiomers are non-superimposable.
