Pyranose ring of glucose is formed due to the reaction between:
Pyranose ring of glucose is formed due to the reaction between:
Show Hint
When studying sugar chemistry, remember that the pyranose ring forms when the aldehyde on C\(_1\) reacts with the hydroxyl group on C\(_5\).
Updated On: Feb 24, 2026
- C\(_1\) and C\(_3\)
- C\(_1\) and C\(_5\)
- C\(_1\) and C\(_4\)
- C\(_1\) and C\(_2\)
Show Solution
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
The pyranose form of glucose is a cyclic structure created when the hydroxyl group at C\(_5\) reacts with the aldehyde group at C\(_1\). This process is an intramolecular hemiacetal formation, yielding a six-membered ring.
