Pyranose forms of monosaccharides are_____.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pyranose forms of monosaccharides are six-membered cyclic hemiacetals where the carbonyl group (C=O) of the open-chain form reacts with the hydroxyl group (OH) on the C5 or C6 carbon to form a hemiacetal. In the case of pyranose forms, the cyclic structure resembles a six-membered ring, specifically a pyran ring, and thus is called a pyranose. The correct option is D.F1F1F1S1F1F1F10membered cyclic hemiacetals.
