Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The chair conformations of α-D-mannopyranose and β-D-mannopyranose has to be given and their anomeric carbons has to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

In pyranoses, as the molecule contains six carbon atoms, the stable conformation is of chair conformation.

Anomeric carbons:

In Haworth projections, the newly formed chiral centre in the cyclic structure is said to be the Anomeric carbon.
