The possible adsorbed intermediates for fructose hydrogenation, wherethe more active flat adsorption is better positioned for the metal stabilization <strong>of</strong> thedeveloping π-bond character between the anomeric carbon and its hydroxyl oxygen.The only flat adsorbed β-pyranose ring that can accommodate the adsorption <strong>of</strong>both the ring oxygen and the hydroxyl oxygen on the anomeric carbon also suffersfrom a 1,3 steric interaction between the methylene hydroxyl group on the C2position and the hydroxyl group on C4 resulting in it being less stable and lesspreferred to the remaining flat adsorbed species. The flat adsorbed α-pyranose ring
