When the following aldohexose exists in its D-configuration, the total number of stereisomers in its pyranose form is :
.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
8

Since the configuration is D, cyclisation will occur at OH of 5th carbn atom.
Chiral centres in pyanose structure, `n = 3`
Total stereoisomers `=2^(n)=2^(3)=8`
