Fischer projection of L-arabinose

The chemical structure of D-arabinofuranose

Arabinose is an aldopentose — a monosaccharide containing five carbon atoms, and including an aldehyde (CHO) functional group. It has chemical formula C₅H₁₀O₅. L-arabinose has the same configuration at its penultimate carbon atom as L-(-)-glyceraldehyde. Natural monosaccharides are nearly always dextrorotory and are chemically reducable to D-(+)-glyceraldehyde. With few exceptions, only in synthetic form would a levorotory L-(-)-arabinose be seen.
