CARBOHYDRATES (SACCHARIDES, SUGARS)
(MONOSACCHARIDES, SIMPLE SUGARS)
Saccharide classification Monosaccharides (simple sugars) Glucose Mannose Ribose Oligosaccharides Sucrose Lactose Maltose Polysaccharides Starch Cellulose Pectins Hydrolyze to simple sugars. Contain many monosugars linked together Not hydrolyze to smaller molecules Hydrolyze to simple sugars. Contain 2-10 monosugars linked together
Monosaccharide structures an aldohexose a ketohexose an aldopentose
Naturally occurring D-sugars (R)-(+)-glyceraldehyde Configuration at stereogenic center farthest from the carbonyl group is on the right in Fischer projection
D-Aldoses an aldotriose aldotetroses
D-Aldoses aldotetroses aldopentoses
D-Aldoses Allose Altrose Glucose Mannose Gulose Idose Galactose Talose All Altruists Gladly Make Gum In Gallon Tanks
D-Ketoses a ketotriose a ketotetrose a ketopentose a ketopentose
D-Ketoses ketopentoses ketohexoses
Cyclic forms of monosugars In monosugars carbonyl and hydroxyl groups are in the same molecule, so hemiacetal formed is a 6- or 5-membered ring with one oxygen atom – pyran or furan analogue
Cyclic forms of monosugars D-glucose, pyranose form D-fructose, furanose form
Interconversion of Fischer and Haworth projections D-glucose (Fischer) D-glucose (Haworth))

Mutarotation of monosaccharides α-D-glucopyranose (36%) [α]D = +112.2° β-D-glucopyranose (64%) [α]D = +18.7° At equilibrium [α]D = +52.6°

Physical properties of hexoses • Crystalline solids, non-volatile, decompose at elevated temperature (caramelization) • Polar, very well soluble in water, soluble to some extent in lower alcohols, insoluble in nonpolar organic solvents • Form oversaturated solutions in water (syrups) – difficult for crystallization
Chemical properties of hexoses • Enolization (isomerization) • Oxidation • Reduction • Glycoside formation (acetals) • Acylation (esters formation) • Alkylation (ethers formation) • Reactions with nitrogen nucleophiles • Kiliani-Fischer chain lengthening • Wohl degradation (chain shortening)
Chemical properties of hexoses • Enolization (isomerization) D-glucose, D-mannose Keto-enol tautomerism (base or acid-catalyzed)
Chemical properties of hexoses • Oxidation Tollens reagent Fehling reagent Ag0 Red solid Silver mirror
Chemical properties of hexoses • Oxidation Oxidation of aldehyde group of aldose leads to aldonic acid
Chemical properties of hexoses • Oxidation Oxidation of aldehyde and hydroxymethyl groups of aldoses leads to dicarboxylic aldaric acids
Chemical properties of hexoses • Oxidation Oxidation of hydroxymethyl group of aldose leads to uronic acid
Chemical properties of hexoses • Reduction Reduction of aldehyde group of aldoses leads to alditols
Acetal formation from hemiacetal Cyclic monosugar + alcohol → Glycoside + water
Chemical properties of hexoses • Glycoside formation Acetal Hemiacetal
Glycosides in nature Bearberry Methylarbutin Skin-lightening activity
Glycosides in nature Willow Salix alba Salicin Anti-inflammatory activity
Glycosides in nature Aglycon Amygdalin Cyanogenic glycoside
Properties of glycosides • Exist as two distinct anomers - α or β • Do not show reducing properties (ring does not open) • Mutarotation is not possible (ring does not open) • Stable in alkaline aq. solutions (like ethers) • Hydrolyze in acidic aq. solutions into sugar and aglycon
Chemical properties of hexoses • Acylation (esters formation)
Chemical properties of hexoses • Alkylation (ethers formation)
Chemical properties of hexoses • Reactions with nitrogen nucleophiles Reaction with hydroxylamine leads to D-glucose oxime
Chemical properties of hexoses • Reactions with nitrogen nucleophiles Reaction with phenylhydrazine leads to D-glucose phenylhydrazone
Chemical properties of hexoses • Reactions with nitrogen nucleophiles Reaction with excess of phenylhydrazine leads to D-glucose osazone
Chemical properties of hexoses • Reactions with nitrogen nucleophiles D-glucose osazone can be converted into osone – 1,2-dicarbonyl derivative
GLYCOSIDES Monosugar + alcohol Glycoside + water Aglycon: 4-methoxyphenol Sugar: D-glucose
OLIGOSACCHARIDES Monosugar + monosugar Disaccharide + water 1β,4’ glycoside bond Cellobiose, a 1,4’-β-glycoside D-Glup-(β1→4)-D-Glup
CELLOBIOSE 1’ 1 4’
MALTOSE 1α,4’ glycoside bond Maltose, a 1,4’-α-glycoside D-Glup-(α1→4)-D-Glup
MALTOSE Maltose and cellobiose are diastereoisomers. The only differrence is the configuration of glycoside bond – α in maltose, β in cellobiose.
