The anomeric carbon in D(+) glucose is

Question

The anomeric carbon in D(+) glucose is (A) C-1 carbon (B) C-2 carbon (C) C-5 carbon (D) C-6 carbon

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

D-glucose exists in two optically active forms known as α-D- glucose and β-D-glucose. The two isomers are interconvertible in aqueous solution. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/f2740a3ec0e96079772f45e0b03304ca-.png" /> Carbon-1 in both configurations I and II is called an anomeric carbon atom.
