Chapter 24, Problem 24.25P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Methyl α-D- galactopyranoside and methyl β-D- galactopyranoside are to be distinguished using the periodate oxidation.

Concept introduction:

Oxidation is a type of reaction in which addition of oxygen atom or removal of hydrogen atom takes place. It occurs by loss of electrons. Oxidizing agent is the substance that causes oxidation in redox reaction. The carbonyls get oxidized to give carboxylic acids.

The periodate (an anion composed of iodine and oxygen) is an oxidisng agent.

Diastereomers are the isomers which are non-superimposable and are not mirror images of each other.

Show the product that results when fructose is treated with an excess of methyl iodideand silver oxide.(b) Show what happens when the product of part (a) is hydrolyzed using dilute acid.(c) What do the results of parts (a) and (b) imply about the hemiacetal structure of fructose?
1.Explain what is anomeric effect and why it happens?   2.Explain how a glycosyl acetimidate can loss its glycosyl donor activity?
An unknown β-d-aldohexose has only one axial substituent. A Wohl degradation forms a compound which, when treated with sodium borohydride, forms an optically active alditol. This information allows you to arrive at two possible structures for the β-d-aldohexose. What experiment can you carry out to distinguish between the two possibilities?
