Abstract
Relatively few carbohydrate experiments have been reported for the microscale organic laboratory curriculum despite the considerable importance of these biomolecules. This article describes an experiment that encourages discussion of carbohydrate chemistry in terms of reaction mechanisms, conformational analysis, and spectroscopy. The specific experiment involves the preparation of the bis(acetonide) of D-(+)-mannose.
