Chapter 24, Problem 24.22P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The Fisher projection for the aldaric acid and the structure of $\text{1, 4-lactone}$ which is derived from the oxidation of $\text{D-galactose}$ is to be draw.

Concept introduction:

Fischer projections is a two dimensional representation of organic compounds. It was proposed to represent glucose molecules. The carbon chain is represented vertically; the hydoxy groups and hydrogen atoms are represented horizontally, according to their stereochemistry.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The Fisher projection for the aldaric acid and the structure of $\text{1, 4-lactone}$ which is derived from the oxidation of $\text{D-mannose}$ is to be draw.
