Question:

When each of the d-aldohexoses assumes an apyranose form, the CH2OH group occupies an equatorial position in the more stable chair conformation. The one exception is d-idose, for which the CH2OH group occupies an axial position in the more stable chair conformation. Explain this observation, and then draw the more stable chair conformation of l-idose in its α pyranose form.
