1. Carbohydrates CH339K

2. What Makes a Carbo a Carbo? Overall formula Where n ≥ 3 Etymology: From their general formula C n (H 2 O) n ; they were once thought to be hydrates of carbon.

3. Simplest Carbos: N=3 2 Tautomers Tautomers are isomers of organic compounds that readily interconvert by a chemical reaction called tautomerization. (Wikipedia)

4. Glyceraldehyde exists as a pair of enantiomers Enantiomers are non-superimposable mirror images Vertical bonds go into the plane of the projection Horizontal bonds emerge from the plane of projection

5. R-S Nomenclature (for the Organic guys)

6. With n > 3, you can form diastereomers Diastereomers are stereoisomers that are not mirror images

20. Sugar Derivatives -2H +,e - +H 2 O aldonolactoneAldonic acid Alduronic acid Amino sugar Substituted Amino sugar Cu 2+ +NH 3, -H 2 O Acetic anhydride

21. Sugar Derivatives

22. Glycosides Glycoside: Any of a group of organic compounds that yield a sugar and one or more nonsugar substances on hydrolysis.

23. Natural Glycosides Amygdalin is a poison found in the seeds of bitter almonds. It releases cyanide upon hydrolysis.

24. Amygdalin is also known as Laetrile or “Vitamin B17,” a quack (excuse me, “alternative”) cancer treatment.

25. Natural Glycosides Digitoxin is used as a heart stimulant in medicine; related componds are used as poisons in murder mysteries
