  1. L-glucose is an accepted name for this isomer.

    The IUPAC systematic name for L-glucose is:

    (2S,3S,4R,5S,6S)-6 -(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydro -2H-pyran-2,3,4,5-tetraol

    6-(hydroxymethyl)oxane-2,3,4,5-tetrol

    is another IUPAC name for glucose but it does not give the stereochemistry of L-glucose that you specifically asked for.


  2. ? Do you mean the IUPAC name?

    L-glucose is perfectly fine for science use.

    IUPAC it's 6-(hydroxymethyl)oxane-2,3,4,5-tetrol
