One type of these compounds can be shortened in length by one structural unit in the presence of Fe(III)/Hydrogen peroxide.
One type of these compounds can be shortened in length by one structural unit in the presence of Fe(III)/Hydrogen peroxide. When they are cyclic, they undergo mutarotation or the interconversion between the alpha and beta types of a particular form of isomerism. The Haworth projections are three-dimensional structures used to visualize these compounds, and when they differ at exactly one chiral center, they are called epimers. Depending on the presence of aldehyde or ketone groups, they are called aldoses or ketoses. For 10 points, identify these compounds which are exemplified by maltose, fructose, and glucose.
