Chapter 24, Problem 48DSP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Correct structures for the hexose that gives the same aldaric acid as (+)-glucose is to be chosen.

Concept introduction:

The stereoisomers that are not mirror images are diastereomers.

They differ in absolute configuration at only one chirality center.

(+)-glucose and its diasteromeric hexose undergo oxidation at C-1 and C-6 carbon atoms to form optically active aldaric acid.

The aldaric acids have two -COOH groups at both ends of the carbon chain. There is no way to tell which was originally the -CHO and which was -CH2OH, and thus, a given aldaric acid can have two different precursors.

Organic Chemistry 1 Here is the professor's solution to the problem. However, I do NOT understand the solution. Please explain the answer in a clear step-by-step fashion to me. Explain the answer provided in the image in a clear fashion and as if I did not know much about organic chemistry. It seems to me like the professor is making the problem more complicated than it has to be. Can you demystify or simplify this problem about D glucose? How can you assign priorities on a Fischer projection? I don't get it.

Stereochemistry in biological molecules is often denoted by the D‑ and L‑ convention, instead of the ?‑R‑ and ?‑S‑ configurations determined by the Cahn–Ingold–Prelog methodology. Historically, the glyceraldehyde enantiomer that rotated plane polarized light clockwise was arbitrarily designated as D and the other enantiomer was designated as the L configuration. The D‑glyceraldehyde Fischer projection is shown. D‑glyceraldehyde
