Classification of Monosaccharides in Organic Chemistry - Lecture 24.1

Chad's Prep via YouTube

Overview

Explore the classification of monosaccharides in this comprehensive organic chemistry video. Learn to distinguish between aldoses and ketoses, and identify monosaccharides based on their carbon atom count. Delve into the stereochemistry of monosaccharides, including D and L sugars, enantiomers, diastereomers, and epimers. Examine the cyclization process of monosaccharides as hemiacetals, including Haworth projections and chair conformations. Understand anomers, mutarotation, and how to identify the anomeric carbon in alpha or beta conformations for both D and L sugars. Discover the formation of pyranoses and furanoses through cyclization.
