Open-chain glucose, Solution

and open-chain fructose, Solution

has three chiral carbons. Hence, sum of X + Y = 4 + 3 = 7.

Q. The open-chain glucose, (an aldohexose) and fructose (a $2 -$ ketohexose) have $X$ and $Y$ chiral carbons respectively. Find the sum of $X + Y$ .

Open-chain glucose,

and open-chain fructose,
