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

- Prostaglandins are a class of eicosanoids, fatty acid derivatives with a variety of extremely potent actions on vertebrate tissues. They are responsible for producing fever and inflammation and its associated pain. Prostaglandins are derived from the 20- carbon fatty acid arachidonic acid in a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase. This enzyme, a cyclooxygenase, uses oxygen to convert arachidonic acid to PGG2, the immediate precursor of many different prostaglandins. Rate of formation of PGG2 with 10 mg/ml ibuprofen (mM/min) Arachidonic acid (mM) Rate of formation of PGG2 (mM/min) 0.190 12.3 0.228 13.9 0.342 17.5 0.570 1.33 22.2 28.8 7.71 8.88 11.9 16.3 24.0 The kinetic data given in the table are for the reaction catalyzed by a mutant of prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase.

This reaction, called transesterication, results in the conversion of one ester to another by a nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction. Draw a stepwise mechanism for the given transesterication.arrow_forward

- Betamethasone is a synthetic anti-inammatory steroid used as a topical cream for itching. Betamethasone is derived from cortisol, with the following structural additions: a C=C between C1 and C2, a uorine at C9, and a methyl group at C16.
