- d-(-)-Erythrose has the formula HOCH2¬CH(OH)¬CH(OH)¬CHO, and the d in its name implies that it can be degraded to d-(+)-glyceraldehyde. The (-) in its name implies that d-(-)-erythrose is optically active (levorotatory). When d-(-)-erythrose is reduced (using H2 and a nickel catalyst), it gives an optically inactive product of formula HOCH2¬CH(OH)¬CH(OH)¬CH2OH. Knowing the absolute configuration of d-(+)-glyceraldehyde (Section 5-14), determine the absolute configuration of d-(-)-erythrose.arrow_forwardDraw the structure of each of the following compounds:a. a polysaccharide formed by joining D-glucosamine in 1->6-a-glycosidic linkagesb. a disaccharide formed by joining D-mannose and D-glucose in a 1->4-ß-glycosidic linkage using mannose’s anomericcarbonc. an a-N-glycoside formed from D-arabinose and C6H5CH2NH2d. a ribonucleoside formed from D-ribose and thyminearrow_forwardWhich statements are correct regarding the formation of maltose?A.
