Monosaccharides contain carbonyl group hence are classified, as aldose or ketose. The number of carbon atoms present in the monosaccharide molecule are also considered for classification. In which class of monosaccharide will you place fructose?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To classify fructose as a monosaccharide, we need to analyze its structure and characteristics based on the definitions provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Carbonyl Group**: - Monosaccharides can be classified based on the presence of a carbonyl group (C=O). If the carbonyl group is at the end of the carbon chain, the monosaccharide is classified as an aldose. If the carbonyl group is located within the carbon chain, it is classified as a ketose. 2. **Determine the Structure of Fructose**: ...

Broadly speaking there are four types of stereisomers namely conformational isomers geometrical isomers, enantiomers and diastereomers.Although conformational isomers , have same configuration geometrical isomers have different atoms attached to each of the doubly bonded carbon atom, and enantiomers are due to chirality in the molecule Enantiomers are also known as optical isomers and diastereomers are those stereoisomers which are not enantiomers.In simple compound, number of stereoisomers.In chiral molecule is given by the reaction 2^n , where n is the number of dissimilar chiral carbon. Observe the following structures and answer the questions given below : How many stereoisomers are possible in pent-3-en-2-ol, CH_3CH=CHCHOHCH_3
