Concept introduction:
l A Haworth projection is a way of writing a structural formula to represent the cyclic structure of monosaccharides.
l A glycosidic bond is a covalent bond that joins a carbohydrate to another functional group or molecule. A substance containing a glycosidic bond is termed a glycoside. Glycosides may be categorized according to elements involved in the
To determine:
a. To determine the Haworth Structures for the product of the oxidation reaction of the hydroxyl group on carbon 6 in β-D-glucose to form β-D-gluconic acid.
b. To determine the Haworth structure of β-D-glucosamine.
c. To determine the Haworth structure for the amide of β-D-glucosamine and acetic acid.
d. To determine the two types of glycosidic bonds that links the monosaccharides in hyaluronic acid.
e. To determine the structure for a section of chitin with two N-acetyl-D-glucosamine units linked by β(1→4)-glycosidic bonds.
