Chapter 25. Biomolecules:
Carbohydrates
Based on McMurry’s Organic Chemistry, 6th edition
Importance of Carbohydrates
•
•
•
•
Distributed widely in nature
Key intermediates of metabolism (sugars)
Structural components of plants (cellulose)
Central to materials of industrial products: paper,
lumber, fibers
• Key component of food sources: sugars, flour,
vegetable fiber
• Contain OH groups on most carbons in linear chains or
in rings
Chemical Formula and Name
• Carbohydrates have roughly as many O’s as C’s
(highly oxidized)
• Since H’s are about connected to each H and O the
empirical formulas are roughly (C(H2O))n
– Appears to be “carbon hydrate” from formula
• Current terminology: natural materials that contain
many hydroxyls and other oxygen-containing groups
Sources
• Glucose is produced in plants through
photosynthesis from CO2 and H2O
• Glucose is converted in plants to other small
sugars and polymers (cellulose, starch)
• Dietary carbohydrates provide the major
source of energy required by organisms
25.1 Classification of
Carbohydrates
• Simple sugars (monosaccharides) can't be converted
into smaller sugars by hydrolysis.
• Carbohydrates are made of two or more simple sugars
connected as acetals (aldehyde and alcohol),
oligosaccharides and polysaccharides
• Sucrose (table sugar): disaccharide from two
monosaccharides (glucose linked to fructose),
• Cellulose is a polysaccharide of several thousand
glucose units connected by acetal linkages (aldehyde
and alcohol)
A disaccharide
derived from
cellulose
Aldoses and Ketoses
• aldo- and keto- prefixes identify the nature of the
carbonyl group
• -ose suffix designates a carbohydrate
• Number of C’s in the monosaccharide indicated by root (tri-, tetr-, pent-, hex-)
25.2 Depicting Carbohydrate
Stereochemistry: Fischer Projections
• Carbohydrates have multiple chirality centers and
common sets of atoms
• A chirality center C is projected into the plane of the
paper and other groups are horizontal or vertical lines
• Groups forward from paper are always in horizontal
line. The oxidized end of the molecule is always higher
on the page (“up”)
• The “projection” can be seen with molecular models
Stereochemical Reference
• The reference compounds are the two enantiomers of
glyceraldehyde, C3H6O3
• A compound is “D” if the hydroxyl group at the chirality
center farthest from the oxidized end of the sugar is on
the right or “L” if it is on the left.
• D-glyceraldehyde is (R)-2,3-dihydroxypropanal
• L-glyceraldehyde is (S)-2,3-dihydroxypropanal
The D-Sugar Family
• Correlation is always with D(+)-glyceraldehyde
• (R) in C-I-P sense
Rosanoff Structural Families
• The structures show how the “D” and “L” family
members are identified by projection of the bottom
chirality center
• The rest of the structure is designated in the name of
the compound
• The convention is still widely used
Working With Fischer
Projections
• If groups are not in corresponding positions, they can
be exchanged three at a time in rotation – work with
molecular models to see how this is done
• The entire structure may only be rotated by 180
• While R, S designations can be deduced from Fischer
projections (with practice), it is best to make molecular
models from the projected structure and work with the
model
25.3 D, L Sugars
• Glyceraldehyde exists as two enantiomers, first
identified by their opposite rotation of plane polarized
light
• Naturally occurring glyceraldehyde rotates planepolarized light in a clockwise direction, denoted (+) and
is designated “(+)-glyceraldehyde”
• The enantiomer gives the opposite rotation and has a () or “l” (levorotatory) prefix
• The direction of rotation of light does not correlate to
any structural feature
IUPAC Definitions1996
• Fischer-Rosanoff Convention - according to which (+)glyceraldehyde, now known to be (R)-2,3-dihydroxypropanal, was
named D-glyceraldehyde (with the enantiomer L-glyceraldehyde
and its racemate DL-glyceraldehyde) and taken to have the
absolute configuration represented by the Fischer projection
formula shown below. The atom numbered 1 according to normal
nomenclature rules is conventionally placed at the top of the main
chain, which is drawn vertically and other groups are drawn on
either side of that main chain. The convention is still in use for amino acids and for sugars

Chemistry, Section E: Stereochemistry

(1976)
D-glyceraldehyde
L-glyceraldehyde
25.4 Configurations of the
Aldoses
• Stereoisomeric aldoses are distinguished by trivial
names, rather than by systematic designations
• Enantiomers have the same names but different D,L
prefixes
• R,S designations are difficult to work with when there
are multiple similar chirality centers
• Systematic methods for drawing and recalling
structures are based on the use of Fischer projections
Four Carbon Aldoses
• Aldotetroses have two chirality centers
• There are 4 stereoisomeric aldotetroses, two pairs of
enantiomers: erythrose and threose
• D-erythrose is a a diastereomer of D-threose and Lthreose
Minimal Fischer Projections
• In order to work with structures of aldoses more easily,
only essential elements are shown
• OH at a chirality center is “” and the carbonyl is an
arrow 
• The terminal OH in the CH2OH group is not shown
Aldopentoses
• Three chirality centers and 23 = 8 stereoisomers, four
pairs of enantiomers: ribose, arabinose, xylose, and
lyxose
• Only D enantiomers will be shown
Systematic Drawing
• A chirality center is added with each CHOH adding
twice the number of diastereomers and enantiomers
• Each diastereomer has a distinct name
Start with the fact that they are D
Go up to next center in 2 sets of 2
Finish with alternating pairs
Apply to Aldhexoses
• There are eight sets of enantiomers (from four
chirality centers)
25.4 Configurations of the
Aldohexoses
• 8 pairs of enantiomers: allose, altrose, glucose,
mannose, gulose, idose, galactose, talose
• Name the 8 isomers using the mnemonic "All altruists
gladly make gum in gallon tanks"
25.5 Cyclic Structures of Monosaccharides:
Hemiacetal Formation
• Alcohols add reversibly to aldehydes and
ketones, forming hemiacetals
Internal Hemiacetals of Sugars
• Intramolecular nucleophilic addition creates cyclic
hemiacetals in sugars
• Five- and six-membered cyclic hemiacetals are
particularly stable
• Five-membered rings are furanoses. Six-membered are
pyanoses
• Formation of the the cyclic hemiacetal creates an
additional chirality center giving two diasteromeric
forms, desigmated  and b
• These diastereomers are called anomers
• The designation  indicates that the OH at the
anomeric center is on the same side of the Fischer
projection structure as hydroxyl that designates
whether the structure us D or L
Fischer Projection Structures of Anomers:
Allopyranose from Allose
Converting to Proper
Structures
• The Fischer projection structures must be redrawn to
consider real bond lengths
• Note that all bonds on the same side of the Fischer
projection will be cis in the actual ring structure
Conformations of Pyranoses
• Pyranose rings have a chair-like geometry with axial
and equatorial substituents
• Rings are usually drawn placing the hemiacetal oxygen
atom at the right rear
25.6 Monosaccharide Anomers:
Mutarotation
• The two anomers of D-glucopyranose can be
crystallized and purified
– -D-glucopyranose melts at 146° and its specific rotation,
[]D = 112.2°;
 b-D-glucopyranose melts at 148–155°C a specific rotation of
[]D = 18.7°
• Rotation of solutions of either pure anomer slowly
change due to slow conversion of the pure anomers
into a 37:63 equilibrium mixture ot :b called
mutarotation
Mechanism of Mutarotation
Glucose
• Occurs by reversible ring-opening of each anomer to
the open-chain aldehyde, followed by reclosure
• Catalyzed by both acid and base
25.7 Reactions of Monosaccharides
• OH groups can be converted into esters and ethers,
which are often easier to work with than the free
sugars and are soluble in organic solvents.
– Esterification by treating with an acid chloride or acid anhydride
in the presence of a base
– All OH groups react
