Hi Fvasconcellos, the stereochemical information is missig for the hydroxy group in the middle (see https://commonchemistry.cas.org/detail?ref=15879-93-3). Are you willing to update your structural formula? --Leyo 10:09, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely, I've updated the file! Fvasconcellos (t·c) 14:16, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. --Leyo 19:40, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In de.wikipedia, I received the complaint that the stereochemistry of two substituents on the oxalane ring (1,2-ethanediol, hydroxy) is missing/unclear (see other structural formulas in Category:Chloralose for comparison). --Leyo 08:00, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I do understand, but that is to be expected for this style; explicit hashed/wedged bonds to denote stereochemistry should not be necessary with a (quasi-)Haworth representation such as this one. I've updated the file again for added clarity, but I'm not sure it's an improvement. Perhaps using the "flat" skeletal formula with explicit stereochemistry would be preferred at de.wiki?

@Leyo: I've also uploaded a 3D model, although I'm not sure those are used (or useful) at de.wiki. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 16:30, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. It's fine now. :-) --Leyo 13:17, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
