2. D-Sorbose converting to a five membered ring. Step 1: Draw Fischer projection of D-Sorbose. Step 2: Mark hydrogens and oxygen participating in the conversion to furanose. Step 3: Indicate hydrogen transfer using arrow. Step 4: Show how the structure will look like after hydrogen transfer. Step 5: Show how the ring will close. Step 6: Show structures of a and 3 variations of the D-Sorbose. Step 7: Explain how a and 3 variations of the D-Sorbose differ from each other.
