3 Haworth Structures of
Monosaccharides
Fold the horizontal carbon chain into a hexagon and bond the
O on carbon 5 to carbon 1. Carbons 2 and 3 form the base of
the hexagon, as the remaining carbons move upward.

Haworth Structures of Galactose
Galactose
• is an aldohexose.
• differs from glucose only
in the arrangement of the
— OH group on carbon 4.
• has a Haworth structure
similar to that of glucose,
except that the — OH
group on carbon 4 is
drawn above the ring.

Haworth Structures of Fructose
Fructose
• is a ketohexose.
• forms a five-atom ring
structure with carbon 2 at
the right corner of the ring.
• forms when the — OH
group on carbon 5 reacts
with carbon 2 in the
carbonyl group.
