Chapter 16, Problem 25P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The method to determine which bottle contains D-lyxose is to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

Dilute nitric acid is a strong oxidizing agent.  It is used to oxidize aldehydes and primary alcohol. When both aldehyde and the primary alcohol group of aldoses are oxidized, then the product obtained is known as aldaric acid.

To synthesize D-galactose, a student went to the stockroom to get some D-lyxose to use as a starting material. She found that the labels had fallen off the bottles containing D-lyxose and D-xylose. How can she determine which bottle contains D-lyxose?
If anisole is allowed to sit in D2O that contains a small amount of D2SO4, what products are formed?
In 1891, Emil Fischer determined the structures of glucose and the seven other d-aldohexoses using only simple chemical reactions and clever reasoning about stereochemistry andsymmetry. He received the Nobel Prize for this work in 1902. Fischer had determined thatd-glucose is an aldohexose, and he used Ruff degradations to degrade it to (+)-glyceraldehyde. Therefore, the eight d-aldohexose structures shown in Figure 23-3 are the possiblestructures for glucose.Pretend that no names are shown in Figure 23-3 except for glyceraldehyde, and usethe following results to prove which of these structures represent glucose, mannose,arabinose, and erythrose.(a) Upon Ruff degradation, glucose and mannose give the same aldopentose: arabinose.Nitric acid oxidation of arabinose gives an optically active aldaric acid. What are thetwo possible structures of arabinose?(b) Upon Ruff degradation, arabinose gives the aldotetrose erythrose. Nitric acid oxidation of erythrose gives an optically inactive…
