Abstract

This Paper decribes a qualitative analysis scheme for a limited selection of carbohydrates (i.e. some mono- and disaccharides) using a flowchart approach. Procedures, for the preparation of all reagents, the tests and a brief description of the results are detailed. This scheme is adaptable to any existing laboratory course and should be especially amenable to introductory organic chemistry courses.
