Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The aldose compounds that would yield phenylosazone similar to L-sorbose are to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

▸ Monosaccharide Lsorbose is a ketose, which is often used as the starting material for commercial production of vitamin C (Lascorbic acid).

▸ Compounds formed by the reaction of reducing sugars with excess of phenylhydrazine are called osazones. These are highly crystalline and colored compounds and are formed by the reducing sugar molecules.

A D-aldopentose A is reduced to an optically active alditol. Upon Kiliani–Fischer synthesis, A is converted to two D-aldohexoses, B and C. B is oxidized to an optically inactive aldaric acid. C is oxidized to an optically active aldaric acid. What are the structures of A–C?
Which D-aldopentose is oxidized to an optically active aldaric acid and undergoes the Wohl degradation to yield a D-aldotetrose that is oxidized to an optically active aldaric acid?
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?
