Video from The Organic Chemistry Tutor on YouTube

1.3.1 Classify monosaccharides (aldoses and ketoses; trioses to hexoses) and describe their stereoisomerism, ring structures and anomers.

Why this video

It explains D- and L-stereoisomerism, epimers, how open-chain Fischer projections cyclize into Haworth projections and chair conformations, and how to identify alpha and beta anomers.

Part of this line

Covers part of this objective. It leaves out: It focuses on hexoses, leaving out the specific classification and examples of trioses, tetroses, and pentoses.

Heads up

It briefly introduces disaccharides and polysaccharides, which go beyond this monosaccharide-focused objective.
