(b)
Interpretation:
The cyclic form of monosaccharide given should be converted to an acyclic monosaccharide.
Concept Introduction:
When an aldehyde or a ketone is reacted with one equivalent of alcohol, a hemiacetal is formed. The aldoses and ketoses contains both hydroxyl groups and aldehyde or ketone functional group. Therefore, aldoses and ketoses undergo intramolecular cyclization to form stable cyclic hemiacetals. The O atom on the chirality center farthest from the carbonyl is involved in the cyclization.

- >Lactose is a disaccharide of glucose and galactose. Draw the structure of lactose.arrow_forwarda) Draw Haworth projections of both - and -anomers of D-fructose. Indicate which carbon is the anomeric carbon.b) Sucrose is a disaccharide made up of a molecule of D-fructose and D-glucose. Draw the structure of sucrose clearly indicating the linkage between the two monosaccharides and its biological significance.c) Tollen’s reagent is a very mild oxidizing agent which normally oxidize aldehydes but not ketones. However, both glucose and fructose give positive results with Tollen’s reagent and are classified as reducing sugars. Explain how fructose can also give positive results with Tollen’s reagent (illustrate using structures).arrow_forward
