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

Jason's C6H12O6 is a nasty ambiguous formula. ChrisW's thing is less ambiguous (but still ambiguous).

There's a nasty ambiguous word for it: hexose; but it's not quite as ambiguous as the formula.

It's 40 years since I studied any chemistry, and I haven't used any of it since 1970, but I reckon that there are hordes (at least 136) of different compounds called hexose, some (at least 60) of which occur naturally, some others we can manufacture, and yet others of which neither occur naturally (at least on earth) nor have we manufactured them yet (as far as I know). In addition there are 9 different inositols (CHOH)6. So that's at least 145 things which are each C6H12O6.

16 straight-chain aldohexoses H(CHOH)5CHO (7 naturally occurring ones, and another 9 theoretically possible ones). These are short-lived transient forms, which occur when one of the ring form hexopyranoses temporarily opens out before reforming into a different ring form (which might not be a hexopyranose).

32 Hexopyranoses - ring forms with topology O(CHOH)4CH2.CHOH, 2 related to each of the above aldohexoses (14 naturally occurring, 2 of which are - I think - used as [the main ingredient of] table sugar, and 18 others are theoretically possible). a-D-Glucopyranose and ß-D-Glucopyranose are the two forms in table sugar, I think, but I could have that wrong. But these 32 are really 96, because each of the 32 comes as 3 torsion/rotation isomers.

I think ChrisM's "6-(hydroxymethyl)oxane-2,3,4,5-tetrol" is probably generally used for any of the dextrorotatory D-hexopyranoses (not all D-hexopyranoses are dextrorotatory, despite the D- prefix) although it looks as if it ought to apply to all 32 hexopyranoses, but maybe it's some other sbset of them.

16 Hexofuranoses – ring forms with topology OCHCH2OH(CHOH)3COH.CH2OH, derived from the straight aldohoses, of which 7 do occur naturally but never in solid form. Or are there 32, not 16?

8 ketohexoses CH2OH(CHOH)3COCH2OH of which 4 occur naturally. These are formed as transients when a Hexofuranose temporarity opens out, before forming a new ring (which may not be a hexofuranose).

Inositol, an alcohol formed by a ring of 6 CHOH groups, has 5 naturally occurring forms; there are 4 other possible forms.

Maybe there are some more forms of C6H12O6 – I'm no expert.

But there's no word that I believe is exactly as ambiguous as Jason's formula: C6H12O6. The nearest is "hexose", which has only 136 different meanings (as far as I know), and C6H12O6 represents 145 different things (of course there may be some C6H12O6 which I don't know about, it may be even more ambiguous that 145 possible meanings suggests).
