Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the given structure of fucose is
Concept Introduction:
Enantiomers are the non-super imposable mirror images of each other. Enantiomers rotate the plane of polarization in opposite direction but by the same amount. The compound becomes optically inactive.
(b)
Interpretation:
The given structure of fucose is
Concept Introduction:
The carbohydrate can have either
(c)
Interpretation:
Whether fucose is an aldose, ketose or neither of them is to be stated.
Concept Introduction:
Carbohydrates can either be aldose or ketose. Carbohydrates which contain
(d)
Interpretation:
Fischer projection of the carbonyl group of the given carbohydrate is to be shown.
Concept Introduction:
Fischer projection is used to represent a three dimensional structure of compound in two dimensional plane. The Fischer projection is drawn by taking chiral carbons into consideration. The chiral carbons of the molecule are represented by the intersection of two lines in Fischer projection. The groups attached to the chiral carbon are attached to that intersection point. The D or L form is decided on the basis of the attachment of the hydroxyl group on the chiral carbon which is farthest from the carbonyl carbon.

OH НО OH (a) Identify the glycosidic linkage and the acetal carbon in lactose. (b) What type of glycosidic linkage does lactose have (i.e., is it 1,1'-, 1,2'-, etc., and is it a or B)? (c) People who are lactose intolerant are deficient in the enzyme lactase, and therefore cannot efficiently break down the disaccharide into its monosaccharides. When lactose is treated with aqueous acid, however, this hydrolysis can take place, though relatively slowly.
