To convert a cyclic hemiacetal from a Fischer projection to a Haworth pyranose structure, standard conversion rules are followed.
A six-membered pyranose ring is drawn with the ring oxygen at the top right.
Conversion rule:
$$\mathrm{Left\ side\ in\ Fischer \rightarrow Up\ in\ Haworth}$$
$$\mathrm{Right\ side\ in\ Fischer \rightarrow Down\ in\ Haworth}$$
Applying this rule:
At $$\mathrm{C1}$$ (anomeric carbon):
The $$\mathrm{-OH}$$ group is on the left side.
Therefore:
$$\mathrm{-OH \ points\ Up}$$
At $$\mathrm{C2}$$:
The $$\mathrm{-OH}$$ group is on the left side.
Therefore:
$$\mathrm{-OH \ points\ Up}$$
At $$\mathrm{C3}$$:
The $$\mathrm{-OH}$$ group is on the right side.
Therefore:
$$\mathrm{-OH \ points\ Down}$$
At $$\mathrm{C4}$$:
The $$\mathrm{-OH}$$ group is on the left side.
Therefore:
$$\mathrm{-OH \ points\ Up}$$
At $$\mathrm{C5}$$:
The ring oxygen is on the right side, indicating a $$\mathrm{D}$$-sugar.
For $$\mathrm{D}$$-sugars in Haworth form:
$$\mathrm{-CH_2OH \ points\ Up}$$
Therefore, the correct Haworth pyranose structure has:
$$\mathrm{C1:\ Up}$$
$$\mathrm{C2:\ Up}$$
$$\mathrm{C3:\ Down}$$
$$\mathrm{C4:\ Up}$$
and
$$\mathrm{-CH_2OH \ group\ Up}$$
