'''Xylose''' (''cf.'' ], ''xylos'', "wood") is a sugar first isolated from wood, and named for it. Xylose is classified as a ] of the ] type, which means that it contains five ] atoms and includes an ] ]. It is the precursor to ], one of the main constituents of ]. Like most sugars, it can adopt several structures depending on conditions. With its free carbonyl group, it is a ]. '''Xylose''' ({{abbr|cf.|compare with}} {{langx|grc|ξύλον}}, {{transl|grc|xylon}}, "wood") is a sugar first isolated from wood, and named for it. Xylose is classified as a ] of the ] type, which means that it contains five ] atoms and includes an ] ]. It is derived from ], one of the main constituents of ]. Like most sugars, it can adopt several structures depending on conditions. With its free ], it is a ].


==Structure== ==Structure==
The ] form of xylose has ] HOCH<sub>2</sub>(]H(OH))<sub>3</sub>CHO. The cyclic ] isomers are more prevalent in solution and are of two types: the pyranoses, which feature six-membered C<sub>5</sub>O rings, and the furanoses, which feature five-membered C<sub>4</sub>O rings (with a pendant CH<sub>2</sub>OH group). Each of these rings subject to further isomerism, depending on the relative orientation of the anomeric hydroxy group. The ] form of xylose has ] {{chem|HOCH|2|(CH(OH))|3C|H|O}}. The cyclic ] isomers are more prevalent in solution and are of two types: the ]s, which feature six-membered {{chem|C|5|O}} rings, and the ]s, which feature five-membered {{chem|C|4|O}} rings (with a pendant {{chem|CH|2|OH}} group). Each of these rings is subject to further isomerism, depending on the relative orientation of the anomeric hydroxy group.

Xylose is the main building block for the ] ], which comprises about 30% of some plants (birch for example), far less in others (spruce and pine have about 9% xylan).
