Question
Ribose, a carbohydrate with the formula shown, forms a cyclic hemiacetal, which, in principle, could contain either a four-membered,
five-membered, or six-membered ring. To determine which ring is formed, ribose is treated with methanol in the presence of an acid
catalyst. The products are then isolated and treated with
NaIO, then with
H₂O*.
