  2. Hemiacetal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemiacetal

    According to the IUPAC definition of a hemiacetal, the R 1 and R 2 groups may or may not be hydrogen. In a hemiketal, both of these R-groups must not be hydrogen. Thus, hemiketals are regarded as a subclass of hemiacetals. [1] The prefix hemi, meaning half, refers to the one alcohol added to the carbonyl group.

  3. Hemithioacetal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemithioacetal

    Hemithioacetal functional group. In organic chemistry, hemithioacetals (or thiohemiacetals) are organosulfur compounds with the general formula R−CH(−OH)−SR’.They are the sulfur analogues of the acetals, R−CH(−OH)−OR’, with an oxygen atom replaced by sulfur (as implied by the thio-prefix).

  4. Pyranose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyranose

    In organic chemistry, pyranose is a collective term for saccharides that have a chemical structure that includes a six-membered ring consisting of five carbon atoms and one oxygen atom (a heterocycle). There may be other carbons external to the ring.

  5. Carbohydrate acetalisation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbohydrate_acetalisation

    The latter reagent in itself is an acetal and therefore the reaction is actually a cross-acetalisation. Kinetic reaction control results from 2-methoxypropene as the reagent. D-ribose in itself is a hemiacetal and in equilibrium with the pyranose 3. In aqueous solution ribose is 75% pyranose and 25% furanose and a different acetal 4 is formed.

  6. Acetal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetal

    Generic structure of acetals. In organic chemistry, an acetal is a functional group with the connectivity R 2 C(OR') 2. Here, the R groups can be organic fragments (a carbon atom, with arbitrary other atoms attached to that) or hydrogen, while the R' groups must be organic fragments not hydrogen. The two R' groups can be equivalent to each ...

  7. Anomer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anomer

    Anomers are different in structure, and thus have different stabilizing and destabilizing effects from each other. The major contributors to the stability of a certain anomer are: The anomeric effect, which stabilizes the anomer that has an electron withdrawing group (typically an oxygen or nitrogen atom) in axial orientation on the ring. This ...

  8. Oligosaccharide nomenclature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oligosaccharide_nomenclature

    An oligosaccharide has both a reducing and a non-reducing end. The reducing end of an oligosaccharide is the monosaccharide residue with hemiacetal functionality, thereby capable of reducing the Tollens’ reagent, while the non-reducing end is the monosaccharide residue in acetal form, thus incapable of reducing the Tollens’ reagent.

  9. Science project - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_project

    A science project is an educational activity for students involving experiments or construction of models in one of the science disciplines. Students may present their science project at a science fair, so they may also call it a science fair project. Science projects may be classified into four main types.
