Summary Introduction

To review:

The information that can be deduced (about the ring structure of fructose) from the fact that the treatment of fructose with methyliodide produces 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-methylfructose.

Introduction:

Fructose is a monosaccharide that is present in high quantity in fruits. It is also present in some vegetables as well as honey. It is an important member of the ketose sugar family. A fructose molecule is twice as sweet as sucrose, which makes it a sweetening agent used in processed food products.
