Chapter 22, Problem 26P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structures of D –- psicose and D –- tagatose are to be shown.

Concept Introduction:

▸ Monosaccharides, fructose, sorbose, psicose and tagatose are ketohexoses. Monosaccharides allose and galactose are aldohexoses. All of them are reducing sugars.

▸ Compounds formed by the reaction of reducing sugars with excess of phenylhydrazine are called osazones. Osazones are products of oxidation and are produced by all of the reducing sugars.

▸ The Fischer projection is a way of representing biomolecules with cross formulation of the open chain structures of DGlucose.

Monosaccharide A is a diastereomer of d-lyxose. Treatment of A with nitric acid forms an optically inactive aldaric acid. A undergoes a Kiliani-Fischer synthesis to form B and C. B is oxidized by nitric acid to an optically active aldaric acid, and C is oxidized to an optically inactive aldaric acid. Wohl degradation of A forms D, which is oxidized by nitric acid to an optically inactive aldaric acid. Wohl degradation of D forms a d-aldotriose. Identify A, B, C, and D.
Compound A is a D-aldopentose that can be oxidized to an optically inactive aldaric acid B. On Kiliani-Fischer chain extension, A is converted into C and D; C can be oxidized to an optically active aldaric acid E, but D is oxidized to an optically inactive aldaric acid F. What is the structure of compound F? • Use the wedge/hash bond tools to indicate stereochemistry where it exists. You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. If a group is achiral, do not use wedged or hashed bonds on it. • Show stereochemistry in a meso compound. • Do not include lone pairs in your answer. They will not be considered in the grading.
Aldohexoses A and B are formed from aldopentose C via a Kiliani–Fischer synthesis. Nitric acid oxidizes A to an optically active aldaric acid, B to an optically inactive aldaric acid, and C to an optically active aldaric acid. Wohl degradation of C forms D, which is oxidized by nitric acid to an optically active aldaric acid. Wohl degradation of D forms (+)-glyceraldehyde. Identify A, B, C, and D.
