उत्तर

D and L configuration in sugars:

  1. Conventionally (+)-glyceraldehyde is represented by the Fischer projection formula having –OH group attached to C-2 on the right side and this configuration is denoted by symbol ‘D’.
  2. Similarly, the configuration of (–) glyceraldehyde is denoted by the symbol ‘L’.
  3. All the compounds which can be correlated by a series of chemical reactions to (+)-glyceraldehyde are said to have D-configuration.
  4. And compounds which are chemically correlated to (–)-glyceraldehyde are said to have L-configuration. This is the system of the relative configuration of chiral compounds.
  5. A monosaccharide is assigned D/L configuration on the basis of the configuration of the lowest chiral carbon in its Fischer projection formula.
  6. Relative configuration of (+)-glucose with respect to (+)-glyceraldehyde can be drawn as follows:
