The structure of one of the enantiomers of psicose is shown below. Blank #1: Is this the D or L enantiomer of psicose? Blank #2: Define psicose in terms of the number of carbons and its carbonyl functional group (for example, aldopentose). Blank #3: What is the stereochemical relationship between psicose and fructose, assuming they are both D? (enantiomers, epimers at C-? , diastereomers with more than one different chiral C, structural isomers, different molecules) Blank #4: Write the letter of the cyclic structure shown below that corresponds to a-D-psicose. Blank #5: Is this a reducing sugar? (yes/no) Blank #6: Does picose undergo mutarotation? (yes/no)
