Vedclass · Answer

(B) and $L$ before the name of any compound commonly indicate the relative configuration. For assigning the configuration of monosaccharides,it is the lowest asymmetric carbon atom (chiral center) that is compared to glyceraldehyde. For glucose,if the $-OH$ group on the lowest asymmetric carbon $(C-5)$ is on the right side,it is assigned $D$-configuration. If the $-OH$ group is on the left side,it is assigned $L$-configuration. Both $D$ and $L$ configurations are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. Therefore,the structure of $L-(-)$-glucose is the mirror image of $D-(+)$-glucose.

Given the structure of $D-(+)$-glucose as shown below,identify the structure of $L-(-)$-glucose.
