Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Haworth and conformational formulae of the β -cyclic hemiacetal of D-mannose are to be completed. The nature of the hemiacetal on the basis of the given reactions and observations is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The Haworth representation of the chemical formulae of biomolecules demonstrates the cyclic form of monosaccharides with a simple three-dimensional perspective. It represents the chirality center of the open-chain form through the cyclic forms. Carbon is an implicit type of atom. Carbons are numbered from 1 to number 6, where the first carbon is called the anomeric carbon.

Identification of carbohydrates is carried out by the anomeric carbons. If the hydroxyl group is attached to the anomeric carbon, the carbohydrate is reducible, which positively tested for Benedict and Tollens’s test.

The optical activity of a carbohydrate is dependent on its ability to turn the plane of polarized light incident on the sample.

When monosaccharides react with dilute nitric acid, the aldehydes and alcohols are oxidized into carboxylic acids, producing dicarboxylic acids known as aldonic acids.

Aldehydes and ketones can be reduced to primary and secondary alcohols, respectively, with the help of sodium borohydride.

among the compounds shown in the linked image, identify the primary and secondary alcohols and then draw the chemical structure of the aldehyde or ketone produced when these alcohols are oxidized. write like this: primary alcohol                                  product of oxidizing primary alcohol     secondary alcohol                            product of oxidizing secondary alcohol
Following are three alcohols with the molecular formula C4H10O. Their boiling points, from lowest to highest, are 82.3°C, 99.5°C, and 117°C. Which alcohol has which boiling point?
Which is NOT a physical property of alcohols or phenols? O Phenols are generally only slightly soluble in water. O The hydroxyl group of an alcohol is nonpolar. The solubilities of normal primary alcohols in water decrease with increasing molecular weight. Boiling points of normal primary alcohols increase with increasing molecular weight.
