Carbohydrate cyclization refers to the process by which linear monosaccharides (simple sugars) form ring structures in aqueous solutions. This occurs when the carbonyl group (an aldehyde or ketone) reacts with a hydroxyl group on the same molecule, forming a hemiacetal (in aldoses) or hemiketal (in ketoses). The reaction creates a new chiral center at the anomeric carbon, leading to the formation of two possible isomers called α (alpha) and β (beta) anomers. Cyclization typically results in five-membered (furanose) or six-membered (pyranose) rings, depending on the carbon atoms involved. This ring formation is reversible and plays a key role in carbohydrate structure and function.
