D and L Notation For Sugars
How to determine if a sugar is D- or L-, drawings of all the D- and L- aldotrioses, aldotetroses, aldopentoses, and aldohexoses, and the purpose of D vs L
the left and the right thing gives d or l sure
and didnt follow this. it is enantiomers naming system
@hardcoreisdead if you don't flip all of em you'll create an epimer of glucose, i.e., it will be L but it will no longer be glucose. will become smtg else (in this case it will become L idose - epimer of glucose at C5 posn)... so if u wanna draw the L form from the D form, draw the enantiomer of the D form.
