Question
Chapter 16.5, Problem 8P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The mechanism for the base-catalyzed conversion of D-fructose to D-glucose and D-mannose has to be written.
Concept Introduction:
In the conversion of D-fructose to D-glucose the base is required as a catalyst. Therefore, such reactions are called base catalyzed reactions. The base first removes a proton from carbon position

This can be done either by selective oxidation or reduction. As a specific example, nitric acid oxidation of d-erythrose gives meso-tartaric acid . Similar oxidation of d-threose gives (2S,3S)-tartaric acid. Given this information and the fact that d-erythrose and d-threose are diastereomers, draw Fischer projections for d-erythrose and d-threose. Check your answers against Table 25.1.arrow_forward
