Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structural formulas of the given compounds are to be represented.

Concept Introduction:

▸ There are many ways of representing biomolecules, Fischer projection formula, Haworth’s formulas and chair form are few such methods.

▸ Fischer’s projection method represents the structure of D(+)Glucose with the cross formulation of the open chain structures of aldoses such as DGlucose.

▸ The Haworth formulas demonstrate the cyclic form of glucose acetals6-carbon-atom rings. It represents the chirality center of the open-chain form through the cyclic forms. The chair form conformations represent the most accurate conformations of the ring structures.

An unknown reducing disaccharide is found to be unaffected by invertase enzymes. Treatment with an a@galactosidasecleaves the disaccharide to give one molecule of d-fructose and one molecule of d-galactose. When the disaccharideis treated with excess iodomethane and silver oxide and then hydrolyzed in dilute acid, the products are2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methylgalactose and 1,3,4-tri-O-methylfructose. Propose a structure for this disaccharide, and give itscomplete systematic name.
A D-aldohexose A is formed from an aldopentose B by the Kiliani–Fischer synthesis. Reduction of A with NaBH4 forms an optically inactive alditol. Oxidation of B forms an optically active aldaric acid. What are the structures of A and B?
d-Xylose and d-lyxose are formed when d-threose undergoes a Kiliani–Fischer synthesis. d-Xylose is oxidized to an optically inactive aldaric acid,whereas d-lyxose forms an optically active aldaric acid. What are the structures of d-xylose and d-lyxose?
