Carbohydrates! The Chiral Carbons of Sugars

This video explains how to determine which of the carbons in a carbohydrate are chiral. This works with all types of sugars including hexoses, pentoses, tetrose, trioses. Several practice examples are included.

This is the most well explained video I have come across on the entire internet. Thank you.

You literally just taught me in 6 minutes what I have been trying to learn all day long! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jenniferkelley7376]

This was exactly what I needed for the chapter I'm working on right now - short, simple, and easy to understand!

I couldn’t help but comment. Honestly I have been reading this with no one explaining to me as I kept getting confused, but your video was so simple and straight to the point. Before now I was wondering why a carbon that still had 2 carbon atoms were still chiral, I didn’t know the whole group was counted. Also I didn’t know why double bond carbon was disqualified from being chiral until I saw this. You are really amazing and I just subscribed. You are also a good teacher, you took both the topics and your words bit by bit, so everyone could understand you. Many thanks

thank you so much , finally someone explained it so simple ,, have a great day !

Usually I don't write comments but I really have to thank you for this video !! Keep going 🧡🧡

[@agdoombagdoom8540]

Thank you sir for explaining... the difference in groups and individual atoms in carbon

[@agatha3576]

This is so amazingly explained, thanks a lot!

[@khushichudasama7468]

Thankyou so much for that detailed explanation 😭

[@mahakyari]

Smoothest way to explain thank you so much 😊😊

[@loafofpoutine352]

The way I held my breath when he said two chiral carbons on the last example

[@ferancity441]

Thanks for the explanation... You've cleared my confusion.

[@coryschroeder8148]

This was a godsend. Thank you.

[@naturelovesu5627]

Great man !! I was confused about two carbons with carbon number 2

Very simple and clear

[@MedicoMuskanBrohi]

Thank you sir ☺️

[@اللہالمستعان-ب6ش]

thankyou so much🥰🥰🥰❤

[@peculiaasogwa-iq2kt]

So we can have many chiral carbons in a carbohydrate?

[@salahyeager5896]

Thank you proff

[@adeelkhan1423]

Thanksssss finallyyy...

[@aeeeshatuh]

Thank you!!!🫶

[@manityagi2657]

Thanks alot

[@ayatemad9181]

Thank you!

[@ThavishVlogs]

Can u pls tell how many chiral carbons does beta d glucose have Isn't it 5

[@nancygold6792]

It should be 4. The first carbon(c1) is double bonded to oxygen, double bonds make an atom achiral, the last carbon (c6) is unsaturated. So we are left with just 4 chiral carbons

[@sowndaryaravi5285]

Thank u so muchhh

thx

[@carlosmiguelm.ragrag6908]

Thank you! HAHAHAHAHAHA

[@KereraNathan]

Your calling all the carbon atoms chiral. No differentiating

[@BATBQR]

Thank you very much, I understood with you quickly 🤍🤍🤍🙏 Your explanation is great
