Some of the mono saccharides can occur in either of two structural configurations: open-chain and cyclic (or ringed). Cyclic forms that contain a six-member ring are called pyranoses and those that contain a five-member ring are called furanoses.
For example, ribose, an important aldopentose, commonly adopts a furanose structure, as shown in the following illustration. By convention for the D-family, the five-membered furanose ring is drawn in an edgewise projection with the ring oxygen positioned away from the viewer.
13 lip 2017 · Each isomer (alpha+ beta furanose, alpha + beta pyranose) has a unique three-dimensional structure and the most favored structure will be that which maximizes the strength of the inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonds.
Cyclic structures of this kind are termed furanose (five-membered) or pyranose (six-membered), reflecting the ring size relationship to the common heterocyclic compounds furan and pyran shown on the right.
A furanose ring structure consists of four carbon and one oxygen atom with the anomeric carbon to the right of the oxygen. The highest numbered chiral carbon (typically to the left of the oxygen in a Haworth projection) determines whether or not the structure has a d-configuration or L-configuration.
1 kwi 2023 · Specific furanose ring conformation can be recognize based on 1 H NMR spectra. The zero coupling constant is characteristic of the trans -oriented pseudoequatorial protons. The vicinal coupling constant for the pseudodiaxially oriented protons amounts to 8–9 Hz.
Five-carbon furanose rings are notoriously more flexible and thermodynamically less stable than their six-carbon counterparts, meaning that unlike pyranoses, furanoses can interconvert between...
