Date: April 8, 2013 Chapters 14.8; 23-1, 2, 5, and 7: Carbohydrates – Part I Carbohydrate nomenclature: http://www.chem.qmul.ac.uk/iupac/2carb/ Carbohydrates: ! e.g., • Polyhydroxylated aldehydes and ketones and their equivalents H O • Important constituents of both plants and animals (CHOH)n • D-glucose: The primary source of energy in the human body CH2OH • Hexoses: Sugars possessing six carbon atoms. • Pentoses: Sugars possessing five carbon atoms. • Aldoses: Sugars containing an aldehyde group. • Ketoses: Sugars containing a ketone group. • Monosaccharides: Carbohydrates that do not undergo cleavage on hydrolysis (treatment with water) to smaller molecules.

Glucose reacts like an aldehyde since small amounts of the open-chain form are present at equilibrium. Glucose has 4 stereocenters → 24 = 16 stereoisomers possible → 8 pairs of enantiomers (1) Fischer projection formulas (a) (+)-Glyceraldehyde: configurational reference compound for all monosaccharides This stereochemistry is defined as "D" if the OH is projected to the right.

Date: April 8, 2013 Carbohydrate families: All aldoses are called “reducing sugars” because of the aldehyde group; they reduce certain metal ions and can be easily oxidized. Two well known reagents for reducing sugars are: 1) Ag(I) → Ag (0) in NaOH/H2O (Tollens test) 2) Cu(II)SO4 (blue) in NaOH/H2O → red Cu2O (Benedict’s reagent) Note: In addition to aldoses, ketoses are also reducing sugars. α-Hydroxyketones in general react with these reagents and can readily be oxidized. aldotriose: aldotetraoses: pentoses: O H O H O H O H O H H OH H OH HO H H OH H OH H OH H OH H OH HO H L!

Date: April 8, 2013 α- or β- at the anomeric carbon – Taken from: http://www.chem.qmul.ac.uk/iupac/2carb/06n07.html The anomeric center: The new center of chirality generated by hemiacetal or hemiketal ring closure is called the anomeric center. The two stereoisomers are referred to as anomers, designated α or β according to the configurational relationship between the anomeric center and a specified anomeric reference atom. The anomeric reference atom and the anomeric configurational symbol (α or β): The anomeric reference atom is the configurational atom of the parent, unless multiple configurational prefixes are used. If multiple configurational prefixes are used, the anomeric reference atom is the highest-numbered atom of the group of chiral centers next to the anomeric center that is involved in the heterocyclic ring and specified by a single configurational prefix. In the α anomer, the exocyclic oxygen atom at the anomeric center is formally cis, in the Fischer projection (i.e., the same side with respect to the carbon main chain), to the oxygen attached to the anomeric reference atom; in the β anomer these oxygen atoms are formally trans. The anomeric symbol α or β, followed by a hyphen, is placed immediately before the configurational symbol D or L of the trivial name or of the configurational prefix.
