Chapter 20, Problem 21P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structure of an L- aldopentose needs to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Answer to Problem 21P

  GENERAL,ORGANIC,+BIOLOG.CHEM. (LOOSE), Chapter 20, Problem 21P , additional homework tip  1

Explanation of Solution

Sugar molecules can be named as D or L sugars according to their most oxidized carbon at the top of the Fisher projection. The absolute configuration of a molecule can be explained using D and L configuration. In D- sugars, the OH group on the bottom chiral center points to the right while in L- sugars, the OH group on the bottom chiral center points to the left. Aldopentose is a five-carbon aldehyde sugar. Xylose, Arabinose and Ribose are few examples.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The structure of a D- tetrose needs to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Sugar molecules can name as D or L sugars according to their most oxidized carbon at the top of the Fisher projection. Aldotetrose is a four-carbon aldehyde sugar.

Answer to Problem 21P

  GENERAL,ORGANIC,+BIOLOG.CHEM. (LOOSE), Chapter 20, Problem 21P , additional homework tip  3

Explanation of Solution

Sugar molecules can be named as D or L sugars according to their most oxidized carbon at the top of the Fisher projection. The absolute configuration of a molecule can be explained using D and L configuration. In D- sugars, the OH group on the bottom chiral center points to the right while if L-sugars, the OH group on the bottom chiral center points to the left. Aldotetrose is a four-carbon aldehyde sugar.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The structure of a five-carbon alditol needs to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Alditols are polyols. Alditols can be produced by reducing an aldehyde or a ketone group in a monosaccharide.

Answer to Problem 21P

  GENERAL,ORGANIC,+BIOLOG.CHEM. (LOOSE), Chapter 20, Problem 21P , additional homework tip  5

Explanation of Solution

Alditols are polyols. Alditols can be produced by reducing an aldehyde or a ketone group in a monosaccharide. In this reduction process, an aldehyde group or a ketone group converts into −CH2OH group. Xylitol is an example of an alditol.
