How many stereogenic centers are in the $\beta$-cyclic form of glucose?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The F1F1F1S1βF1F1F10-cyclic form of glucose has 5 stereogenic centers. These are the carbon atoms that are connected to four different groups, making them capable of existing in two different configurations (R or S). In the cyclic form of glucose, excluding the anomeric carbon (which in the cyclic form can be either α or β, adding to the stereogenic count), there are four other carbons in the glucose molecule that meet this criterion, totaling five stereogenic centers.
