Carbohydrate chemistry and identification of anomeric carbon
« on: May 20, 2012, 12:24:19 PM »
Hi! So I was taught that anomeric carbon's are one's which have 2 O's bonded to them...
But what about the example below? They are in the correct position.. Do the circled carbons count as "anomeric"?

According to your definition they are not anomeric.

Are the hexagons meant to represent monosaccharide derivatives?  If so, then your drawing is misleading and would need to be corrected before a solid answer could be given.
