d-Xylose and d-lyxose are formed when d-threose undergoes a Kiliani–Fischer synthesis. d-Xylose is oxidized to an optically inactive aldaric acid,whereas d-lyxose forms an optically active aldaric acid. What are the structures of d-xylose and d-lyxose?
An unknown β-d-aldohexose has only one axial substituent. A Wohl degradation forms a compound which, when treated with sodium borohydride, forms an optically active alditol. This information allows you to arrive at two possible structures for the β-d-aldohexose. What experiment can you carry out to distinguish between the two possibilities?
A hexose is obtained when the residue of a shrub Sterculia setigeria undergoes acid-catalyzed hydrolysis. Identify the hexose from the following experimental information: it undergoes mutarotation; it does not react with Br2; and D-galactonic acid and D-talonic acid are formed when it reacts with Tollens’ reagent.
A hexose was obtained after (+)-glyceraldehyde underwent three successive Kiliani–Fischer syntheses. Identify the hexose from the following experimental information: oxidation with nitric acid forms an optically active aldaric acid; a Wohl degradation followed by oxidation with nitric acid forms an optically inactive aldaric acid; and a second Wohl degradation forms erythrose.
An optically active D-aldopentose (A) produced an optically inactive alditol (B) upon treatment with H2/Pt. When the aldopentose (A) was subjected to a Ruff degradation, D-aldotetrose (C) was generated. The aldotetrose (C) gave an optically active aldaric acid (D) upon oxidation with HNO3. D-aldopentose (A) can be prepared from D-threose by a Killani Fischer synthesis. Propose structure of A through D.
When oxaloacetic acid and acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) labeled with radioactive carbon-14 in position 2 are incubated with citrate synthase, an enzyme of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, only the following enantiomer of [2-l4C]citric acid is formed stereoselectively. Note that citric acid containing only 12C is achiral. Assign an R or S configuration to this enantiomer of [2-14C]citric acid. (Note: Carbon-14 has a higher priority than carbon-12.)
(a) Which of the d-aldopentoses will give optically active aldaric acids on oxidation with HNO3 ?(b) Which of the d-aldotetroses will give optically active aldaric acids on oxidation with HNO3 ?(c) Sugar X is known to be a d-aldohexose. On oxidation with HNO3, X gives an optically inactive aldaric acid. WhenX is degraded to an aldopentose, oxidation of the aldopentose gives an optically active aldaric acid. Determine thestructure of X.(d) Even though sugar X gives an optically inactive aldaric acid, the pentose formed by degradation gives an opticallyactive aldaric acid. Does this finding contradict the principle that optically inactive reagents cannot form opticallyactive products?(e) Show what product results if the aldopentose formed from degradation of X is further degraded to an aldotetrose.Does HNO3 oxidize this aldotetrose to an optically active aldaric acid?
