Concept introduction:
Aldoses are the carbohydrates in which an aldehyde group is present. The aldehyde carbon is numbered one in Fischer projection. A carbohydrate consists of six carbon atoms chain and an aldehyde group is known as aldohexose. Stereoisomers are the isomers which have same molecular formula but differ in the orientation of atoms or molecules in space. A stereoisomer which rotates the plane of polarized light towards right is a dextrorotatory compound and is represented by

- Given the following structure of aldose, (a) how many chiral carbons are there? (b) is it a reducing sugar? and (c) is it an L or D sugar?arrow_forwardCompound A is a D-aldopentose that can be oxidized to an optically inactive aldaric acid B. On Kiliani-Fischer chain extension, A is converted into C and D; C can be oxidized to an optically active aldaric acid E, but D is oxidized to an optically inactive aldaric acid F. What is the structure of compound F? • Use the wedge/hash bond tools to indicate stereochemistry where it exists. You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. If a group is achiral, do not use wedged or hashed bonds on it. • Show stereochemistry in a meso compound. • Do not include lone pairs in your answer. They will not be considered in the grading.arrow_forwardHow many chiral centers are in B-d-glucopyranose and a-D-galactopyranose? How many stereoisomers of these two aldohexoses can theoretically be drawn?arrow_forward
- Which of the following are reducing sugars? Comment on the common name sucrosefor table sugar.(a) methyl a-d-galactopyranoside (b) b-l-idopyranose (an aldohexose)(c) a-d-allopyranose (d) ethyl b-d-ribofuranosidearrow_forwardWithout referring to the chapter, draw the chair conformations of(a) b-d-mannopyranose (the C2 epimer of glucose).(b) a-d-allopyranose (the C3 epimer of glucose).(c) b-d-galactopyranose (the C4 epimer of glucose)arrow_forward3. Cinnamic acid (shown) reacts with bromine to give a bromination product. (a) Draw all four possible stereoisomers of this reaction as a Fischer projection. Label each molecule as A, B, C, and D. (b) Identify the pairs of enantiomers (c) Identify the pairs of diastereomers (d) Identify which pair corresponds to addition to trans-cinnamic acid. Briefly explain your reasoning.

- Draw the following monosaccharides, using chair conformations for the pyranoses andHaworth projections for the furanoses.(a) a-d-mannopyranose (C2 epimer of glucose)arrow_forwardWithout referring to the chapter, draw the chair conformations of(a) b-d-mannopyranose (the C2 epimer of glucose).arrow_forwardConsider only the top monosaccharide chair conformation. How would I draw the Fischer projection of the aldohexose from which this chair conformation is derived? And is the diaccharide shown reducing, non-reducing, or can that not be determined?arrow_forward
- 1. Draw the two possible Haworth structures (both alpha and beta anomers) for the following monosaccharides and give their corresponding systematic names. [Show the stepwise process] (a) D-Ribosearrow_forwardA D-aldopentose A is reduced to an optically active alditol. Upon Kiliani–Fischer synthesis, A is converted to two D-aldohexoses, 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?arrow_forwardWhich D-aldopentoses are reduced to optically inactive alditols using NaBH,, CH;OH?arrow_forward
