Chapter 8 Opener
Carbohydrates
• General formula: ~(CH2O)n• Biological Roles
• Structural (e.g. cellulose in plants)• Molecular recognition (modification of cell
surface proteins)• Energy storage – reduced carbon (e.g. starch
in plants, glycogen in animals)• Key intermediates in central metabolism
• Facile chemistry• compared to hydrocarbons, for example• formation and cleavage of C-C bonds in
carbohydrates promoted by hydroxyl (and carbonyl) substituents

Figure 8-1 part 1
Each new carbon adds a new stereocenter
D vs L indicates stereochemistry at the penultimate (i.e. next-to-last) carbon
For drawings of sugars, stereochemistry at each carbon is based on a Fisher projection
The red carbon is the new one added in going from the triose to the tetroses

Figure 8-2
Hierarchy of ketose
(ketone-based) sugars
Note that all the carbons are chiral except those at the end, and the one attached to the carbonyl.For aldoses, that is a total of n-2, for ketoses that is n-3 (since the carbonyl is not one of the terminal carbons)

Figure 8-4
Ring closure introduces a new stereocenter at what was the carbonyl carbon
The and are called anomeric forms. The new stereocenter is called the anomeric carbon.•draw the ring with the anomeric carbon at the rightmost point and the lone ring oxygen in the backward position. Then, the form has the hydroxyl on the anomeric carbon pointing up, and pointing down for . [N.B. The linear and cyclic forms can equilibrate, but the cyclic forms typically dominate]

Figure 8-5
The cyclic forms of pyranoses typically have two major alternative conformational (chair) forms
In alternative chair forms, axial groups become equatorial, and vice-versa.The dominant form is the one with the bulkiest groups in equatorial positions.

The glycosidic bond:
Transformation (forwards or backwards) generally depends on acidic conditions.Stable at neutral pH (so the monosaccharide whose anomeric carbon is involved gets trapped in the cyclic form)

A globally abundant carbon compoundCurrent efforts to degrade it efficiently (so it can be converted to various biofuels)• Numerous bacteria and termites (actually microbes in the gut) have evolved to do this

Amylopectin: an example of polysaccharide branching
Note that the degree or frequency of branching in glycogen, the primary form of carbohydrate storage in animals) is very high. This gives the polymeric molecule a much larger number of ‘free’ ends. This allows for more rapid degradation when monosaccharide units are required for energy production.
The structure and linkage is otherwise similar.
