Vedclass · Answer

(A) In the linear structure of $D$-glucose $(CHO-(CHOH)_4-CH_2OH)$,there are $4$ chiral carbons (stereo centers) at positions $C_2, C_3, C_4,$ and $C_5$.In the cyclic structure of $\alpha-D$-glucose,the formation of the hemiacetal linkage creates a new chiral center at the anomeric carbon $(C_1)$.Thus,the cyclic structure has $5$ stereo centers ($C_1, C_2, C_3, C_4,$ and $C_5$).

Number of stereo centers present in linear and cyclic structures of glucose are respectively
