Answer #1
  • The cyclic forms of carbohydrates can exist in two forms, α- and β- based on the position of the substituent at the anomeric center.
  • The two forms are sometimes described as "anomers" since they are isomers at the anomeric center.
  • To assign the cyclic form of a carbohydrate as the α- or β- form look at the relative positions of the -CH2OH group and -OH (or -OR) group at the anomeric center.
  • In the α- form, the exocyclic O group at the anomeric center is on the opposite face to the -CH2OH group, and
  • In the β- form, the exocyclic O group at the anomeric center is on the same face as the -CH2OH group.
