Draw Haworth formulae of ∝ - D -galactose and β - D -galactose.

The sugars can be written using Haworth's formula. Pyranose and Furanose are the oxides rings that resemble the oxygen-containing heterocyclic ring pyran and furan respectively. Galactose has molecular formula is C 6 H 12 O 6 . The Haworth formulae of ∝ - D -galactose and β - D -galactose are as follows : Here, the two structures shown above are all similar except at the C - 2 carbon atom. In α-D-galactose the hydroxyl ion below the plane and β-D-galactose the hydroxyl ion is above the plane.
