  1. Chemistry 20 Chapter 12 Carbohydrates

  2. Carbohydrates • Produced by photosynthesis in plants. • The major source of energy from our diet. • Composed of the elements C, H, and O. Cn(H2O)n Photosynthesis 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy C6H12O6 + 6O2 Respiration glucose

  3. Carbohydrates • The most abundant organic compounds in the plant world. • 3/4 of the weight of plants. • 1% of the weight of animals and humans (they do not store). • 65% of the foods in our diet.

  4. Carbohydrates H+ or enzyme 1. Monosaccharide + H2O no hydrolysis H+ or enzyme 2. Disaccharide + H2O two monosaccharide units + H+ or enzyme 3. Polysaccharide + many H2O many monosaccharide units

  5. Monosaccharides A carbohydrate that cannot be split or hydrolyzed into smaller carbohydrates. • Monosaccharides are carbohydrates with: • 3-9 carbon atoms • A carbonyl group (aldehyde or ketone) • Several hydroxyl groups Cn(H2O)n CnH2nOn ║ C ─ H │ H─ C ─ OH │ H─ C ─ OH │ CH2OH O

  6. Monosaccharides - Aldose O ║ C ─ H aldose │ H─ C ─ OH │ H─ C ─ OH │ CH2OH an aldotetrose (Erythose) • Aldose is monosaccharide: • With an aldehyde group and many hydroxyl (-OH) groups. • triose (3C atoms) • tetrose (4C atoms) • pentose (5 C atoms) • hexose (6 C atoms) • “Aldo-” + suffix

  7. Monosaccharides - Ketose CH2OH │ C = O ketose │ H─ C ─ OH │ H─ C ─ OH │ H─ C ─ OH │ CH2OH a ketohexose (Fructose) • Ketose is monosaccharide: • With a ketone group and many hydroxyl (-OH) groups. • triose (3C atoms) • tetrose (4C atoms) • pentose (5 C atoms) • hexose (6 C atoms) • “Keto-” + suffix

  8. Some important Monosaccharides • Glucose • (C6H12O6, aldohexose) – blood sugar • Is found in fruits, vegetables, • corn syrup, and honey. • Is found in disaccharides such as sucrose, lactose, and maltose. • Makes up polysaccharides such as starch, cellulose, and glycogen.

  9. Some important Monosaccharides • Fructose • (C6H12O6, ketohexose), • Is the sweetest of the carbohydrates. • Is found in fruit juices and honey (fruit sugar). • In bloodstream, it is converted to its isomer, glucose. • Is bonded to glucose in sucrose (a disaccharide known as table sugar).

  10. Some important Monosaccharides • Galactose • (C6H12O6, aldohexose), • Has a similar structure to glucose except for the –OH on Carbon 4. • Cannot find in the free form in nature. • Exist in the cellular membranes of the brain and nervous system. • Combines with glucose in lactose (a disaccharide and a sugar in milk).

  11. Disease - Galactosemia Galactosemia missing the enzyme that convert galactose to glucose. Accumulation of galactose in the blood and tissues. Mental retardation and cataract Solution: removing the galactose from food: no milk.

  12. C H O Convert to Fischer Projection C H O H O H H C O H C H O H C H O H 2 2 Fischer Projections • - Horizontal lines represent bonds projecting forward from the stereocenter. • - Vertical lines represent bonds projecting to the rear. • - Only the stereocenter is in the plane. 3D 2D

  13. Fischer Projections 1. Carbon with four different groups bonded to it. 2. The chiral carbon furthest from the carbonyl group (-CHO). H HO L - glucose D - glucose More common in the nature

  14. Amino Sugars • - Amino sugars contain an -NH2 group in place of an -OH group. • - Only three amino sugars are common in nature: • D-glucosamine, D-mannosamine, and D-galactosamine.

  15. Cyclic Structure – Haworth Structure • - Aldehydes and ketones react with alcohols to form hemiacetals. • - Cyclic hemiacetals form readily when the hydroxyl and carbonyl groups • are part of the same molecule.

  20. Chair Conformation -D-Glucose (Haworth projection) -D-Glucose (Chair conformation)

  21. -D-glucose Open-chain form α-D-glucose Mutarotation Change in specific rotation that accompanies the equilibration of αand  anomers in aqueous solution. 36% 64% < 0.02%

  22. Physical properties of Monosaccharides • Colorless • Crystalline solids • Soluble in water (H-bond because of OH groups) • Insoluble in nonpolar solvents

  23. Chemical properties of Monosaccharides • Formation of Glycosides (acetals) • Oxidation • Reduction

  24. - Exist almost exclusively in cyclic hemiacetal forms. - They react with an alcohol to give acetals. - Acetals are stable in water and bases but they are hydrolyzed in acids. -D-Glucose Methyl α-D-Glucoside Methyl -D-Glucoside Formation of Glycosides (acetals)
