Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mechanism that accounts for the incorporation of the deuterium atoms into D-fructose is to be shown.

Concept Introduction:

Fructose exists as either a free sugar or in polysaccharide forms. The minor tautomers of fructose are α-D-fructopyranose and linear keto form of fructose.

Tautomers are the isomers which makes the difference in the position of protons.

When d-fructose is dissolved in D2O and the solution is made basic, the d-fructose recovered from the solution has an average of 1.7 deuterium atomsattached to the C-1 carbon per molecule. Show the mechanism that accounts for the incorporation of these deuterium atoms into d-fructose.
Draw the mechanism for the formation of b-lactose from α-d-galactose and β-d-glucose in dilute HCl.
The C2-epimer of D-xylose is called (blank 1). The enediol rearrangementconverts an aldose into a (blank 2). The aldopentose embedded in RNA is(blank 3). An aldopentose would have (blank 4) possible stereoisomers,of whichBlankwould be D-sugars. An ketopentose would have (blank 4) possiblestereoisomers, of which (blank 5) would be D-sugars
