Chapter 24, Problem 24.4P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Whether the configuration of the aldose, 6-deoxyglucose is D or L is to be stated.

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 D or + signs. A stereoisomer which rotates the plane of polarized light towards left is a levorotatory compound and is represented by L or signs.

Interpretation Introduction

Whether the configuration of glucose enantiomer with R configuration at carbon -3 is D or L is to be stated.

(a) Which of the d-aldopentoses will give optically active aldaric acids on oxidation with HNO3 ?(b) Which of the d-aldotetroses will give optically active aldaric acids on oxidation with HNO3 ?(c) Sugar X is known to be a d-aldohexose. On oxidation with HNO3, X gives an optically inactive aldaric acid. WhenX is degraded to an aldopentose, oxidation of the aldopentose gives an optically active aldaric acid. Determine thestructure of X.(d) Even though sugar X gives an optically inactive aldaric acid, the pentose formed by degradation gives an opticallyactive aldaric acid. Does this finding contradict the principle that optically inactive reagents cannot form opticallyactive products?(e) Show what product results if the aldopentose formed from degradation of X is further degraded to an aldotetrose.Does HNO3 oxidize this aldotetrose to an optically active aldaric acid?
(a) Label all the O atoms that are part of a glycoside in rebaudioside A. Rebaudioside A, marketed under the trade name Truvia, is a sweet glycoside obtained from the stevia plant, which has been used for centuries in Paraguay to sweeten foods. (b) The alcohol or phenol formed from the hydrolysis of a glycoside is called an aglycon. What aglycon and monosaccharides are formed by the hydrolysis of rebaudioside A?
Draw the following monosaccharides, using chair conformations for the pyranoses andHaworth projections for the furanoses.(a) a-d-mannopyranose (C2 epimer of glucose)(b) b-d-galactopyranose (C4 epimer of glucose)(c) b-d-allopyranose (C3 epimer of glucose)(d) a-d-arabinofuranose(e) b-d-ribofuranose (C2 epimer of arabinose)
