In solutions, the open-chain form of glucose (either "D-" or "L-") exists in equilibrium with several cyclicisomers, each containing a ring of carbons closed by one oxygen atom. ...The ring-closing reaction makes carbon C-1 chiral, too, since its four bonds lead to -H, to -OH, to carbon C-2, and to the ring oxygen.
