5. Ribose's structure is

HO
ОН ОН
a) Draw using the arrow formalism the reaction of linear ribose to make a 5-membered ring.
b) What is the name of the resulting functional group?
c) Given that reaction of alcohols (such as RCH2OH) with carbonyls (such as HCO-R') to create
this functional group is typically not thermodynamically favored, why does most ribose in
water exist as a 5-membered ring? A few word answer is fine.
d) AG°for this reaction is about - 5 kJ/mol. Assuming that you start with a 1 mM solution of
ribose in water, what is the approximate concentration at equilibrium of (i) the linear form?
(ii) The cyclic form? (A good answer should be correct within 20%, e.g. it is fine to
approximate 9 mM as 10 mM, but it is not okay to approximate 0.1 mM as 1 mM.)
e) This reaction creates a new stereocenter. Please indicate it with a *.
f) Consider the starting point for synthesis of purines like ATP, which is PRPP
(pheseboribosylevOrhesehate)

Pyrophosphate (on the right-hand side of the molecule) is a good leaving group. Draw the
leaving of pyrophosphate (the whole thing, so no phosphate is left at this position) using the
arrow formalism, and the resulting organic (i.e. carbon-containing) product, including any
formal charge.
g) Draw a resonance form that stabilizes this product.
h) In purine synthesis, this product reacts with ammonia. Draw the reaction mechanism using
the arrow formalism and the resulting new compound.
