The Haworth projection shown below represents

  1. A \(\beta-\mathrm{D}-(-)\) Fructofuranose
  2. B \(\beta-\mathrm{D}-(+)\) Glucopyranose
  3. C \(\alpha-D-(-)\) Fructofuranose
  4. D \(\alpha-\mathrm{D}-(+)\) Glucopyranose
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\alpha-\mathrm{D}-(+)\) Glucopyranose

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given structure has six-membered ring so it has to be a pyranose. The anomeric carbon has the \(-\mathrm{OH}\) group below the ring and thus it has the \(\alpha\)-configuration. Thus, the compound is \(\alpha-\mathrm{D}-(+)-\) glycopyranose.
