(a)
Interpretation:
Given the each set of sugar molecule whether it is a hemiacetal (or) hemiketal it should be identified and anomeric carbon should be indicating on appropriate place.
Concept Introduction:
Ketal: A
Hemiketals: A compound with both an alcohol (-OH) groups and an ether (-OR) groups are bonded to the carbon atom that was at one time the
Anomer: This is a hemiacetal or acetal carbon in a cyclic saccharide an atom called the anomeric carbon. In other words two stereoisomers formed from the two possible sterocenters at the anomeric centre are called anomers.
(b)
Interpretation:
Given the each set of sugar molecule whether it is a hemiacetal (or) hemiketal it should be identified and anomeric carbon should be indicating on appropriate place.
Concept Introduction:
Acetal: An acetal is one of organic molecule where two separate oxygen atoms are single bonded to a central carbon atom it is called acetal. In other words compound that has two ether groups
Hemiacetal: A compound with both an alcohol like
Anomer: This is a hemiacetal or acetal carbon in a cyclic saccharide an atom called the anomeric carbon. In other words two stereoisomers formed from the two possible sterocenters at the anomeric centre are called anomers.
