Abstract
The expression „carbohydrate“ reflects the belief in the 19th century, that this class of compounds with the general formula C n (H20) n are hydrates of carbon. This early definition has been widened to any multifunctional compounds containing a number of hydroxyl groups of similar reactivity and at least one asymmetric carbon atom. Consequently, a number of examples exist that have very different molecular formulas but are nevertheless due to their chemical reactivity carbohydrates, for example deoxysugars or aminosugars.
