Question

Identify each of the following as the $\alpha$or $\beta$isomer :

Short answer

(a) It is $\alpha$isomer.

(b) It is$\alpha$isomer.

Step-by-step solution

Part (a) Step 1 : Given Information

We have to Identify the given compound as$\alpha$or$\beta$isomer.

Part (a) Step 2 : Simplification

The configuration of a carbohydrate in which the hydroxyl group is cis to the exocyclic oxygen at the anomeric core is known as an alpha anomer. So given compound is$\alpha$isomer.

Part (b) Step 1 : Given Information

We have to Identify the given compound as $\alpha$or$\beta$ isomer.

Part (b) Step 2 : Simplification

The configuration of a carbohydrate in which the hydroxyl group is cis to the exocyclic oxygen at the anomeric core is known as an alpha anomer. So, given compound is$\alpha$isomer.
