QUESTION:
(a) How many asymmetric carbon atoms are there in an aldotetrose? Draw all the aldotetrose stereoisomers.
(b) How many asymmetric carbons are there in a ketotetrose? Draw all the ketotetrose stereoisomers.
(c) How many asymmetric carbons and stereoisomers are there for an aldohexose? For a ketohexose?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 5
The stereo isomer’s maximum count is based on the molecule’s asymmetric carbon atom count.
It is mentioned as \({2^n}\), where n is the asymmetric carbon count.
