'''Pyranose''' is a collective term for [[carbohydrate]]s which have a chemical structure that includes a six-membered ring consisting of five carbons and one oxygen. The pyranose ring is formed by the reaction of the C-5 [[alcohol]] group of a sugar with its C-1 [[aldehyde]] forming an intramolecular [[hemiacetal]]. The name derives from its similarity to the oxygen heterocycle [[pyran]].
