Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The Haworth structures for two possible isomers of Daltrose and Dpsicose are to be drawn.

Concept introduction: The simplest hydrolyzed form that is obtained from the carbohydrates is known as a monosaccharide.

Haworth projection is a method that is used to provide the three-dimensional cyclic form of a monosaccharide. This method shows the monosaccharide in the form of a hemiacetal ring or hemiketal ring.

Carbon atom which behaves as a stereocenter or a chiral center in the cyclic ring form of the hemiacetal or hemiketal compound is known as anomeric carbon.

Answer to Problem 1P

The Haworth structures for two possible isomers of Daltrose and Dpsicose are shown below.

Explanation of Solution

The anomeric carbon of a monosaccharide unit always possesses two types of isomers. One is α isomer in which the hydroxyl (OH) group is located below the plane of the ring and the second is β isomer in which the hydroxyl (OH) group is located above the plane of the ring.

The molecular formula of Daltrose is C6H12O6 . The two possible isomers of Daltrose are αDaltrose and βDaltrose . The Haworth structures for two possible isomers of Daltrose are shown below.

  Figure 1

In the Haworth projection of αDaltrose , the hydroxyl (OH) group which is present at the anomeric carbon is located below the plane of the cyclic ring. On the other hand, in βDaltrose , the hydroxyl (OH) group which is present at the anomeric carbon located above the plane of the cyclic ring.

The molecular formula of Dpsicose is C6H12O6 . The two possible isomers of Dpsicose are αDpsicose and βDpsicose . The Haworth structures for two possible isomers of Dpsicose are shown below.

  Figure 2

In the Haworth projection of αDpsicose , the hydroxyl (OH) group which is present at the anomeric carbon is located below the plane of the cyclic ring. On the other hand, in βDpsicose , the hydroxyl (OH) group which is present at the anomeric carbon is located above the plane of the cyclic ring.
