Vedclass · Answer

(A) The $D$ and $L$ configuration of monosaccharides is determined by the position of the $-OH$ group on the chiral carbon furthest from the carbonyl group (the $C-5$ carbon in fructose).In $D$-fructose,the $-OH$ group at $C-5$ is on the right side.In $L$-fructose,the $-OH$ group at $C-5$ is on the left side.Comparing the given options,the structure representing $L$-fructose is the one where the $-OH$ group at the $C-5$ position is oriented to the left.

Which of the following is the correct structure of $L$-fructose?
