The correct representation in six membered pyranose form for the following sugar [ X ] is
Correct answer
1
Step-by-step solution
The six-membered cyclic structure of glucose is called pyranose structure (α– or β–), in analogy with pyran. Pyran is a cyclic organic compound with one oxygen atom and five carbon atoms in the ring. The cyclic structure of glucose is more correctly represented by Haworth structure C 2 and C 3 OH are cis. C 3 and C 4 are anti to each other. So,the correct option is B.
