Detailed Solution

  • In aqueous solution, more than 99% of glucose molecules, exist in cyclic isomeric form.
  • This conversion to a ring form arises from the open-chain form by a nucleophilic addition reaction between the aldehyde group at C-1 and the hydroxyl group at C-4 (or) C-5, yielding a hemiacetal group -C(OH)H-O-, at C-1
  • The reaction between C-1 and C-5 creates a molecule with a six-membered ring, called pyranose.
  • The position of the hydroxyl on the C-1 determines the alpha or the beta form of the pyranose.
