SECTION D

29 Monosaccharides containing an aldehyde group are called aldoses while those 1+2

five and six carbon atoms have cyclic structures, furanose (five-membered)
and pyranose (six-membered). During ring formation, C1 aldoses and C2 in

Page 4 of 6
 ketoses become chiral and hence all these monosaccharides exist in two forms
called the α-anomer and β-anomer while C1 is called glycosidic or anomeric
carbon atoms. In contrast, stereoisomers, which differ in configuration at any
other chiral carbon other than the glycosidic carbon are called epimers. Two

glycosidic linkage to form disaccharides

30 Kinetic studies are important in understanding reactions, and they also have 1+2
practical implications. For example, in industry, reactions are conducted in +1
reactors in which compounds are mixed together, possibly heated and stirred
for a while, and then moved to the next phase of the process. It is important to
know how long to hold the reaction at one stage before moving on, to make
sure that reaction has finished before starting the next one.
By understanding how a reaction takes place, many processes can be
improved. For example, if it is known that a particular intermediate is involved
in a reaction, the use of conditions (such as certain solvents) that are
incompatible with that intermediate might be avoided. In addition, reagents
might be added that would make certain steps in the reaction happen more
easily.
Not only are kinetic studies important in industry, but they are also used to
understand biological processes, especially enzyme-catalyzed reactions. They
also play a role in environmental and atmospheric chemistry, as part of an
effort to understand a variety of issues ranging from the fate of prescription
pharmaceuticals in wastewater to the cascade of reactions involved in the
ozone cycle.
