2. D-glucose

3.  D: CH 2 OH at C5 goes up  L: CH 2 OH at C5 goes down 5

5.  If OH at C1 is on the same side of the ring as the CH 2 OH group, the sugar is beta  If the OH at C1 is on the opposite side of the ring as the CH 2 OH group, the sugar is alpha  Let’s make our example beta

6. Same side

7.  We need to know the configuration of the OH groups at carbons 2, 3, and 4  How do we do this?  Go back to the Fischer (Rosanoff) projection  Then lay it over on it’s side to the right

8. D-glucose

9.  Put the remaining OH groups on the Haworth ring at C2, C3, and C4 in the same orientation (up or down) as they are in the leaned over Fischer/Rosanoff structure
