Furanose

The form of a sugar when it is condensed into a 5-membered ring. By analogy with furane, the 5-membered cyclic compound containing an oxygen atom and two conjugated carbon-carbon double bonds, a furanose consists of four carbon atoms of a monosaccharide and the oxygen atom that is the link to the anomeric carbon atom.
