6.A chiral carbon is a "chirality center." How many chirality centers does psicose have?

A. 2

B. 3

C. 4

D. 5

A. ketohexose

D. aldotetrose

Information CH,0H 2 CH2OH CHO HO CHO HO OH OH CH,OH Ribose Ho OH CH2OH Xylulose HO CH,OH CH2OH Threose Psicose

Explanation / Answer

2) Xylulose contain 5 C with ketone functional group. so it is keto hexose

answer = option C = Keto pentose

3) ribose contain aldehyde functional group with 5C atoms

so it is aldopentose

answer = option b = aldopentose

4) answer = option D = notisomers

both are contain different molecular formula so they are not isomers.

5) answer = option B = 3

it contain 3 chiral centers
