Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The alcohol synthesised formed
Concept Introduction:
Oxidation and Reduction: The several organic molecules oxidation is a process by which a carbon atom gains to more electronegative elements most commonly oxygen, the reduction process by which a carbon atom gains bonds to less electronegative elements.
Reduction Reaction: This process in which any substance atoms, ion or molecule gains one or more electrons it is called reduction.
Tertiary alcohol:

H3C 00 NCH2CH3 NOH 1 CH3 H3C NN(CH3)2 CH3 H3C CH3 3 2 1 = 2° amine; 2 = oxime; 3 = hydrazine 1 = imine; 2 = oxime; 3 = hydrazone = 1 amide; 2 = 2 amine; 3 = oxime 1 = imine; 2 = hydrazone; 3 = 2° aminearrow_forwardA reducing sugar will undergo the Fehling reaction, which requires a (potential) free aldehyde group. Which of the disaccharides as shown are reducing and which are nonreducing?arrow_forward(a) Label all the O atoms that are part of a glycoside in rebaudioside A. Rebaudioside A, marketed under the trade name Truvia, is a sweet glycoside obtained from the stevia plant, which has been used for centuries in Paraguay to sweeten foods. (b) The alcohol or phenol formed from the hydrolysis of a glycoside is called an aglycon. What aglycon and monosaccharides are formed by the hydrolysis of rebaudioside A?arrow_forward

Kindly explain in a comprehensive manner.arrow_forward
- A reducing sugar will undergo the Fehling reaction, which requires a(potential) free aldehyde group. Which of the disaccharides shown inFigure are reducing and which are nonreducing?arrow_forwardFor a sugar to behave as a reducing sugar, it must have a free aldehyde group. Fructose is a ketose, yet it behaves like a reducing sugar. Explain.arrow_forwardWith the given structures, arrange the following compounds in order of decreasing reactivity towards hydrolysisarrow_forward
