“Sugar Mapping”, an Easy-To-Use Visual Tool To Help the Synthetic Chemist Identify Carbohydrate Stereochemical Relationships

A “map” is presented to describe the different stereochemical relationships among carbohydrates, in both the hexose and pentose series. When implemented, it allows chemistry students, teachers, and researchers to readily identify different sugars’ stereochemical interconnections. It may also help or...

Description
Summary:A “map” is presented to describe the different stereochemical relationships among carbohydrates, in both the hexose and pentose series. When implemented, it allows chemistry students, teachers, and researchers to readily identify different sugars’ stereochemical interconnections. It may also help orient chemists toward retrosyntheses, in which carbohydrates are used as starting material goals.
