Carbohydrates

What Makes a Carbo a Carbo?
Overall formula
CH 2On
Where n ≥ 3
Etymology: From their general formula
Cn(H2O)n; they were once thought to be
hydrates of carbon.
Simplest Carbos: N=3
2 Tautomers
Tautomers are isomers of organic compounds
that readily interconvert by a chemical
reaction called tautomerization. (Wikipedia)
Vertical bonds go into the plane of the projection
Horizontal bonds emerge from the plane of projection
Glyceraldehyde exists as a pair of enantiomers
Enantiomers are non-superimposable mirror
images
R-S Nomenclature (for the Organic guys)
With n > 3, you can form diastereomers
Diastereomers are stereoisomers that are not mirror
images
Hemiacetals and Hemiketals
An aldehyde or a ketone can react
wth an alcohol
Ring formation
Ring formation
in a ketose
Anomers
Differ at the hemiacetal or hemiketal carbon
a-D-Glucose
b-D-Glucose
Furanoses and Pyranoses
Multiple possible rings in a C6-Ketose
Multiple Possible Rings in a C5-Aldose
Ring pucker
Epimers
Differ at only one carbon, but not the anomeric
carbon

Sugar Derivatives
Glycosides
Glycoside: Any of a group of organic compounds that
yield a sugar and one or more nonsugar substances on
hydrolysis.
Natural Glycosides
Amygdalin is a poison found in the seeds
of bitter almonds. It releases cyanide
upon hydrolysis.
Amygdalin is also known as Laetrile or
“Vitamin B17,” a quack (excuse me,
“alternative”) cancer treatment.
Natural Glycosides
Digitoxin is used as a heart
stimulant in medicine; related
componds are used as poisons
in murder mysteries
