The following carbohydrate is: a ketohexose, an aldohexose, an α-furanose, an α-pyranose
an α-pyranose
an α-furanose
a ketohexose
an aldohexose
Solution:
It is a β- pyranose (since OH group is above at anomeric carbon) hence, it is an aldohexose. If one of the group on anomeric carbon is −CH₂OH then it is ketohexose. Option B is correct.
