Concept Introduction:
Carbohydrates are made from carbon, oxygen and hydrogen atoms and the wide numbers of isomers exist for the carbohydrates because of the presence of chiral Carbon atoms.
Pyranose are the compounds that comprise six-membered ring made of one Oxygen and five Carbon atoms, whereas furanose is the carbohydrates that comprise five-membered ring made of one Oxygen and four carbon atoms.

Predict whether d-altrose exists preferentially as a pyranose or a furanose.
Is meclizine chiral? If so, how many of the possible stereoisomers are formed in this synthesis?
The most stable conformation of most aldopyranoses is one in which the largest group, the CH2OH group, is equatorial. However, alpha-D-idopyranose exists primarily in a conformation with an axial CH2OH group. Write formulas for the two chair conformations of a-D-idopyranose (one with the CH2OH group axial and one with the CH2OH group equatorial) and provide an explanation
