Chapter 6, Problem 6.21PP

Summary Introduction

To draw:

The $\alpha$ and $\beta$ anomer of D-talose in pyranose ring.

Introduction:

Talose is an aldohexose sugar, which is soluble in water and slightly soluble in methanol. Molecular formula of talose sugar is ${\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{12}}{\text{O}}_{\text{6}}$. And the molecular mass is $\text{180}\text{.16 g/mol}$. Anomers are the distereo-isomers of cyclic forms of sugars. The cyclic forms of the sugar can exist in two forms $\alpha$ and $\beta$, based on the position of anomeric carbon.
