Chemistry of the Sugars
THE most important development in the chemistry of the sugars since the classical researches of Emil Fischer is the discovery that the 5-atom ring system, which he assigned both to the sugars and to the lactones derived from them, is wrong as regards the sugars, although it is right as regards the lactones of the normal type. No clear explanation has yet been given to show why a six-atom ring should be more stable than a five-atom ring in the sugars,
