When the following aldohexose exists in ...

When the following aldohexose exists in its D-configuration, the total number of stereoisomers in its pyranose form, is
`{:(CHO),(|),(CH_(2)),(|),(CHOH),(|),(CHOH),(|),(CHOH),(|),(CH_(2)OH):}`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts


Because configuration at `C_(5)` is fixed for D-series, there are three other chiral centres and hence there are `2^(3)=8` stereoisomers,
