Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The aldopentose subjected to the chain extension to form
Concept introduction:
A furanose is a five-member ring form of a monosaccharide.
The Haworth formula is a representation of carbohydrate in a cyclic form where the substituents point up or down on the ring.
The substituents to the right of the vertical line in Fischer projection will be pointing down and the substituents to the left of the vertical line in a Fischer projection will be pointing up in a Haworth formula.
The aldopentose can be converted to aldohexose through formation of cyanohydrin.
The reaction of hydrogen cyanide with aldose forms cyanohydrin.
The cyanohydrin is a compound in which both a hydroxyl group and a cyano group bonded to the same carbon.
The cyanide group in cyanohydrin on reduction followed by hydrolysis forms
The aldehyde group of monosaccharides (Aldose) oxidized to carboxylic group and forms aldonic acid. Aldonic acids can be named by replacing the
Aldonic acid forms five-membered

- D-Glicose reacts with acetone in the presence of acid to yield the nonreducing 1, 2: 5, 6-diisopropylidene-D-glucofuranose. Propose a mechanism.arrow_forwardAn 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?arrow_forwardIdentify the sugar in each description. a. An aldopentose that is not d-arabinose forms d-arabinitol when it is reduced with NaBH4. b. A sugar that is not D-altrose forms d-altraric acid when it is oxidized with nitric acid. c. A ketose that, when reduced with NaBH4, forms d-altritol and d-allitol.arrow_forward
- Give the major product that is formed when the primary hydroxyl group of the followingmonosaccharide reacts with propionic anhydride.arrow_forwardShow 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?arrow_forwardWhen the gum of the shrub Sterculia setigera is subjected to acidic hydrolysis, one of the water-soluble components of thehydrolysate is found to be tagatose. The following information is known about tagatose:(1) Molecular formula C6H12O6(2) Undergoes mutarotation.(3) Does not react with bromine water.(4) Reduces Tollens reagent to give d-galactonic acid and d-talonic acid.(5) Methylation of tagatose (using excess CH3 I and Ag2O) followed by acidic hydrolysis gives1,3,4,5-tetra-O-methyltagatose.(a) Draw a Fischer projection structure for the open-chain form of tagatose.(b) Draw the most stable conformation of the most stable cyclic hemiacetal form of tagatosearrow_forward
- An unknown carbohydrate of formula C12H22O11 reacts with Tollens reagent to form asilver mirror. An a@glycosidase has no effect on the carbohydrate, but a b@galactosidasehydrolyzes it to d-galactose and d-mannose. When the carbohydrate is methylated (usingmethyl iodide and silver oxide) and then hydrolyzed with dilute HCl, the products are2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methylgalactose and 2,3,4-tri-O-methylmannose. Propose a structure forthis unknown carbohydratearrow_forwardDraw the structure of the expected product when monosaccharide A undergo mutarotation upon dissolving in water in the presence of Tollens reagent (AgNO3, NH4OH).arrow_forwardA hexose was obtained after (+)-glyceraldehyde underwent three successive Kiliani–Fischer syntheses. Identify the hexose from the following experimental information: oxidation with nitric acid forms an optically active aldaric acid; a Wohl degradation followed by oxidation with nitric acid forms an optically inactive aldaric acid; and a second Wohl degradation forms erythrose.arrow_forward
