(d) Ring (b) is pyranose with
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 23. (d)
Solution:
- The six-membered cyclic ether is known as pyranose while the five membered cyclic ether is known as furanose. Hence, ring (a) is a pyranose and it has ether linkage at
-position that is known as -glycosidic linkage in carbohydrate chemistry.
