Interpretation:
The structure of compound X formed by the reaction of
Concept Introduction:
Sodium borohydride is a reducing agent which reduces carbonyl group to the alcohol group. Ribitol and Xylitol are both five carbon alditols. Periodic acid is a strong oxidizing agent which converts alcohol
Answer:
The structure of X is shown below.
Explanation:
As X gives ribitol and xylitol on reduction with sodium borohydride, so, the oxidation of both alditols performed at carbon
Figure 1
Conclusion:
The structure of compound X is shown in Figure 1.

- (i) Give two examples of macromolecules that are chosen as drug targets.(ii) What are antiseptics? Give an example.(iii) Why is use of aspartame limited to cold foods and soft drinks?arrow_forwardCompound P was discovered by a scientist. She discovered that P is a tripeptide that is optically active and has the molecular formula C21H25N3O5. As a part of the validation process, she tested compound P on different scientific tests. When compound P is reacted with sodium hydroxide its produced salt Q, C21H25N3NAO5 as a major product. Compound P also reacted with sodium bicarbonate to produced salt R as a major product and two side products. Both salts have a similar molecular formula. The reaction of compound P with thionyl chloride produced compound S, C21H23Cl½N3O3. Compound T is formed when compound P reacted with alcohol U, C4H100. Identify the possible structural formulae for compounds P, Q, R, S, and T. Label all peptide bonds for compound P. Predict one (1) of the possible structural formulae of amino acid obtained from compound P. How would you distinguish between compound S and compound T?arrow_forwardWhat is the anhydride for each of the following acids:(a) H2SO4, (b) HClO3, (c) HNO2, (d) H2CO3, (e) H3PO4?arrow_forward

- 27. Which of the following statements about cholesterol is not correct? CH3 CH3 H. d но Cholesterol (a) Cholesterol is a steroid that contains a tetracyclic ring system. (b) Cholesterol is a steroid that contains 8 chiral carbons and can form 28 or 256 stereoisomers. (c) Each atom or group attached to a ring-junction carbon (i.e., carbons a -e) is in a trans or axial position. Because of this the tetracyclic ring system is mostly flat. (d) Cholesterol is used to synthesized vitamin D, bile acids, sex hormones, and adrenocorticoid hormones. (e) Cholesterol is not found in the cell membranes of animals.arrow_forward(a) What amino acids would be obtained by hydrolysis of the following tripeptide?
