Ch 18 | # 6 of 52
Monosacchrides
• Aldoses are monosacchrides with an _________________ group and many hydroxyl (-OH) groups.
• Ketoses are monosacchrides with a __________________ group and many hydroxyl (-OH) groups.
Ch 18 | # 10 of 52
Types of Carbohydrates
• MonosacchridesA carbohydrate that contains a single
polyhydroxy aldehyde or polyhydroxy ketoneunit.
• DisaccharidesContain 2 monosacchride units
• Polysacchrides Contain many monosacchride units
Ch 18 | # 11 of 52
Different Forms of Monosaccharides
• Most monosaccharides exist in two different forms– “left-handed” and – “right-handed”
• The two forms are related to each other the same way that mirror images are related to each other.

Mirror Images
• Mirror images– The reflection of an object in a mirror
• Superimposable mirror images– Images that coincide at all points when the images are laid upon
each other
• Nonsuperimposable mirror images– Images where not all points coincide when the images are laid
upon each other
• The easiest way to determine if two mirror images are superimposable or not, is to make models
Ch 18 | # 15 of 52
Chiral Objects
• Chiral molecules have mirror images that are not superimposable
• Chiral molecules contain at least one chiral center• A chiral carbon atom (“chiral center”) has four
different groups attached to it (typically marked with *)
Ch 18 | # 17 of 52
Stereoisomerism
• Structural isomers– Isomers in which atoms are connected to each other in
different ways
• Stereoisomers– Isomers whose atoms are connected in the same way
but which differ in the orientation of these atoms in space
• Stereoisomers always have a chiral center and structural rigidity• Cis-trans isomers are one form of stereoisomerism
Ch 18 | # 18 of 52
Stereoisomers
• 2 different kinds of stereoisomers– Enantiomers
• Stereoisomers whose molecules are nonsuperimposable mirror images of each other (the left- and right-hand versions of a single molecule)
– Diastereomers• Stereoisomers whose molecules are not mirror images of each
other

Properties of Chiral Centers
• Most important property is a solution of a stereoisomer is its ability to rotate plane polaraized light.
• Light passing through polarized filters has waves only in one direction, i.e., the light is polarized.

Ch 18 | # 27 of 52
• Rotation of light:– Levorotatory: Rotation of light to the left– Dextrorotatory: Rotation of light to the right
• Not to be confused with D and L forms or the “handedness” of molecules. They are different.
Ch 18 | # 29 of 52
Chiral Centers – Why Do We Care?
• Monosaccharides often contain more than one chiral center– This means that there are at least two different forms of
each monosaccharide, a left-handed form and a right-handed form
– Each form elicits a different chemical response
• Biologically active monosaccharides are the right-handed versions of molecules

Intermolecular Interactions
• Interactions where there is binding or contact at three points.
• Look at enantiomeric pair and see how each would bind differently.

Cyclic Structures
• Monosaccharides with 5-6 carbon atoms form cyclic structures
• The hydroxyl group on C-5 reacts with the aldehyde group or ketone group (to form a hemiacetal or a hemiketal)
Ch 18 | # 36 of 52
Haworth Structure for D-Isomers
• Two-dimensional structural notations that specifies the 3-dimensional structure of a cyclic form of a monosaccharide
– The cyclic structure of a D-isomer has the final CH2OH group located above the ring.
Ch 18 | # 37 of 52
→ Fig. 18.16 The cyclic hemiacetal forms of D-glucose result from the intramolecular reaction between the carbonyl group and the hydroxyl group on carbon 5.

Disaccharides
• A disaccharide consists of two monosaccharides
• Glucose + Glucose Maltose + water• Glucose + Galactose Lactose + water• Glucose + Fructose Sucrose + water

Amylose, Amylopectin, and Glycogen
• Amylose is a continuous chain of glucose molecules linked by -1,4 glycosidic bonds
• Amylopectin is a branched chain of glucose molecules linked by a -1,4- and -1,6-glycosidic bonds.
• Glycogen is similar to amylopectin, but more highly branched

Cellulose
• Cellulose is a polymer of glucose molecules linked by -1,4-glycosidic bonds
• Enzymes in saliva can hydrolyze -1,4 glycosidic bonds in starch, but not -1,4 glycosidic bonds in cellulose

• Phosphodiesters link the monomers in DNA

Glycolipids and Glycoproteins
• A glycolipid is a lipid molecule that has one or more carbohydrate (or carbohydrate derivative) units covalently bonded to it.
• A glycoprotein is a protein molecule that has one or more carbohydrate (or carbohydrate derivative) units covalently bonded to it.
