Dear CCL users,
               I will be greatful if anybody tells me the 
relative order of chemical hardness value of alpha form, beta form 
and aldehyde form of glucose.
Is the chemical harness of aldehyde form is greater than alpha and beta 
form? Why ?
Please give me the references. 
Thanking you in advance.
With regards
