Osazone
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Osazones are a class of carbohydrate derivatives found in organic chemistry formed when sugars are reacted with phenylhydrazine. The famous German chemist Emil Fischer developed and used the reaction to identify sugars whose stereochemistry differed only at one chiral carbon. The reaction can also be used to identify natural sugars found in plant tissues.
