Glucose Isomers
When glucose is placed in water two stereoisomers are formed, one with the new OH on the opposite side of the ring than the 6th carbon, the α (alpha) isomer; and the other with the new OH group on the same side of the ring as the 6th carbon, β (beta) - anomer. Thus, a new chiral carbon is produced. However, even though the optical rotation of these two sugars is different, they are not of the same magnitude or are they opposite in direction. Is this the expected result?
