The most stable conformation of the pyranose ring of most D-aldohexoses places the largest group, CH2OH, in the equatorial position. An exception to this is the aldohexose D-idose. Draw the two possible chair conformations of either the a or B anomer of D-idose. Explain why the more stable conformation has the CH2OH group in the axial position.
