A)5-Membered cyclic hemiacetals
B)6-Membered cyclic acetals
C)5-Membered cyclic acetals
D)6-Membered cyclic hemiacetals

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pyranose forms of monosaccharides are formed by the intramolecular reaction of an aldehyde group and a hydroxyl group in the same sugar molecule, resulting in the formation of a 6-membered cyclic hemiacetal ring. Therefore, the correct classification is 6-Membered cyclic hemiacetals (option D).
