Question
Chapter 20, Problem 20.58P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

If this monosaccharide is an aldose or a ketose and a hexose or a pentoses should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Carbohydrates and lipids are the energy sources. Carbohydrates are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. They are also known as saccharides because of their sweet taste.

They are classified into three categories, monosaccharide, oligosaccharide, and polysaccharides.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The unusual about the monosaccharide should be explained.

Concept Introduction:

L-Fucose is a hexose deoxy sugar having molecular formula C6H12O6. It is the sub-unit of polysaccharide fucoidan where, fucose units are linked together with α(13) linkage. Other than all six carbon sugars, it has methyl group on last carbon instead of hydroxyl group. It is a monosaccharide unit common to A, B, AB, and O blood types.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The monosaccharide formed should be identified if the L-fucose undergoes a reaction in which its terminal -CH3 group was converted to a CH2 OH group.

1. Identify the anomeric carbons on sucrose and explain how they are different from lactose and cellulose. 2. On Wikipedia (image pictures below) sucrose is labeled β-D-Fructofuranosyl α-D-glucopyranoside. But the anomeric carbon has the oxygen pointing down and other stereocenters inverted from that of fructose. Did Wikipedia incorrectly name it? Or can you explain why this is the case using structures of sucrose, fructose and glucose…
Raffinose is a trisaccharide (C18H32O16) isolated from cottonseed meal. Raffinose doesnot reduce Tollens reagent, and it does not mutarotate. Complete hydrolysis of raffinosegives d-glucose, d-fructose, and d-galactose. When raffinose is treated with invertase,the products are d-fructose and a reducing disaccharide called melibiose. Raffinose isunaffected by treatment with a b@galactosidase, but an a@galactosidase hydrolyzes itto d-galactose and sucrose. When raffinose is treated with dimethyl sulfate and basefollowed by hydrolysis, the products are 2,3,4-tri-O-methylglucose, 1,3,4,6-tetraO-methylfructose, and 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methylgalactose. Determine the completestructures of raffinose and melibiose, and give a systematic name for melibiose.
Consider the tetrasaccharide stachyose drawn below. Stachyose is found in white jasmine, soybeans, and lentils. Because humans cannot digest it, its consumption causes flatulence.a. Label all glycoside bonds.b. Classify each glycosidic linkage as α or β and use numbers to designate its location between two rings (e.g., 1→4-β).c. What products are formed when stachyose is hydrolyzed with H3O+?d. Is stachyose a reducing sugar?e. What product is formed when stachyose is treated with excess CH3I, Ag2O?f. What products are formed when the product in (e) is treated with H3O+?
