Monosaccharides containing an aldehyde g...

Monosaccharides containing an aldehyde group are called aldoses while those containing aketo group are called ketoses. The aldehyde group is always present at `C_1` while the keto group is usually present at `C_2`. All monosaccharides containing five and six carbon atoms have cyclic structures, furnaose (five membered) and pyranose (six membered). During ring formation, `C_1` in aldoses and `C_2` in ketoses becomes chiral and hence all these monosaccharides exist in two stereoisomeric forms called the `alpha` -anomer and the `beta`-anomer while `C_1` and `C_2` are called glycosidic or anomeric carbon atoms. In contrast, stereoisomers, which differ in configuration at any other chiral carbon other than the glycosidic carbon are called epimers. Two molecules of the same or different monosaccharides combine together through glycosidic linkage to form disaccharides. All monosaccharides (aldoses and ketoses) and most disaccharides reduce Tollens'reagent and Fehling's solution, undergo mutarotation and form osazones.
