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.

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?
A D-aldopentose A is reduced to an optically active alditol. Upon Kiliani–Fischer synthesis, A is converted to two Daldohexoses, 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?
Ruff degradation of d-arabinose gives d-erythrose. The Kiliani–Fischer synthesis converts d-erythrose to a mixture of d-arabinose and d-ribose. Draw out these reactions, andgive the structure of d-ribose
