Ribose, a carbohydrate with the formula shown, forms a cyclic hemiacetal, which, inprinciple, could contain either a four-membered, five-membered, or six-membered ring.When D-ribose is treated with methanol in the presence of an acid catalyst, two cyclicacetals, A and B, are formed, both with molecular formula C,H,0, These are separated,and each is treated with sodium periodate (Section 10.8C) followed by dilute aqueousacid. Both A and B yield the same three products in the same ratios.он оCHOСНОH+ CH,OH A +BÕH1. NalO,2.

Treatment of -D-glucose with methanol in the presence of an acid catalyst converts it into a mixture of two compounds called methyl glucosides (Section 25.3A). In these representations, the six-membered rings are drawn as planar hexagons. (a) Propose a mechanism for this conversion and account for the fact that only the OH on carbon 1 is transformed into an OCH3 group. (b) Draw the more stable chair conformation for each product. (c) Which of the two products has the chair conformation of greater stability? Explain.
Trehalose, C12H22O11, is a nonreducing sugar that is only 45% as sweet as sugar. When hydrolyzed by aqueous acid or the enzyme maltase, it formsonly d-glucose. When it is treated with excess methyl iodide in the presence of Ag2O and then hydrolyzed with water under acidic conditions, only2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-d-glucose is formed. Draw the structure of trehalose.
Aldohexoses A and B both undergo Ruff degradation to give aldopentose C. On treatment with warm nitric acid, aldopentose C gives an optically active aldaric acid. B alsoreacts with warm nitric acid to give an optically active aldaric acid, but A reacts to givean optically inactive aldaric acid. Aldopentose C is degraded to aldotetrose D, whichgives optically active tartaric acid when it is treated with nitric acid. Aldotetrose D isdegraded to (+)@glyceraldehyde. Deduce the structures of sugars A, B, C, and D, and useFigure 23-3 to determine the correct names of these sugars.
The first step in the metabolism of glycerol, formed by digestion of fats, is phosphorylation of the pro-Râ€”CH2OH group by reaction with adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to give the corresponding glycerol phosphate plus adenosine diphosphate (ADP). Show the stereochemistry of the product.
DHA is a fatty acid derived from sh oil and an abundant fatty acid in vertebrate brains. Hydrogenation of DHA forms docosanoic acid [CH3(CH2)20CO2H] and ozonolysis forms CH3CH2CHO, CH2(CHO)2 (ve equivalents), and HCOCH2CH2CO2H. What is the structure of DHA if all double bonds have the Z conguration?

An aldose A, is reduced by sodium borohydride to an optically inactive alditol B. The Ruff degredation of A forms C. Oxidation of C by nitric acid generates the optically inactive diacid D. The ruff degreation of C forms D-glyceraldehyde. draw the structures for compounds A through D and discuss a mechanism for the reduction step using sodium borohydride
trehalose is a disacharide that can be obtained from fungi sea uchins and insects. acid hydrolysis of trehalose yields only D-glucose. trehalose is hydrolysed by a-glucosidase but not b-glucosidase.methylation of trhalose followed by hydrolysis yield two molar equivalents of 2-3-4-6 -tetra-O-methyl-D-glucopyranose. deduce the structure of the trehalose using the experimental data
Give explanation for the following fact:- The enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase catalyzes the oxidation of CH3CH2OH to CH3CHO. But when racemic CH3CHDOH is similarly oxidized, an optically active enantiomer remains.
