Which from followings is true regarding structure of glucopyranose ?

Options

  1. ASix membered heterocyclic ring containing five carbon and one oxygen atom
  2. BFive membered heterocyclic ring containing four carbon and one oxygen atom
  3. CSix membered heterocyclic ring containing six carbon atoms
  4. DFive membered homocyclic ring containing five carbon atoms

Correct answer

A. Six membered heterocyclic ring containing five carbon and one oxygen atom

Step-by-step solution

Glucopyranose is the cyclic form of glucose. The term 'pyranose' indicates that its structure is analogous to pyran. Pyran is a six-membered heterocyclic ring consisting of five carbon atoms and one oxygen atom. Therefore, glucopyranose is a six-membered heterocyclic ring containing five carbon atoms and one oxygen atom. Answer: Six membered heterocyclic ring containing five carbon and one oxygen atom
