- When some sugars dissolve in water they spontaneously undergo changes in optical rotation called mutarrotation. The Mutarrotation of D-glucopyranose is catalyzed by acid and bases. 2-Hydroxypyridine is a more effective catalyst than phenol and pyridine for this reaction because: a.Both oxygen and N in 2-hydroxypyridine act as bases increasing the rapid interconversion of sugar b. The OH of 2-hydroxypyridine serves as the base while the current N as the acid. c. 2-hydroxypyridine acts both as a base to remove the proton from the hydroxyl group in the hemiacetal and as an acid to provide a proton to the oxygen in the hemiacetal. d.Phenol and pyridine are very expensive.arrow_forward(a) Which of the d-aldopentoses will give optically active aldaric acids on oxidation with HNO3 ?(b) Which of the d-aldotetroses will give optically active aldaric acids on oxidation with HNO3 ?(c) Sugar X is known to be a d-aldohexose. On oxidation with HNO3, X gives an optically inactive aldaric acid. WhenX is degraded to an aldopentose, oxidation of the aldopentose gives an optically active aldaric acid.
