The given monosaccharidecan exist as aldohexose in its D-configuration. What is the total number of stereoisomers which can exist in pyranose form ? |
Answer» Solution :The pyranose form of the stereoisomers having D-configuration is shown : There are three chiral `(C^(**))` ATOMS. THEREFORE, chiral centres = 3. Total number of stereoisomers `= 2^(n)=2^(3)=8`. |
