Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Whether galactose and mannose are constitutional, or stereoisomers needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Molecules having same molecular formula and different bonding connectivity are called constitutional isomers.
Streoisomers have same molecular formula and same bonding connectivity but they differ in three-dimensional arrangement of atoms.
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether galactose and mannose are constitutional, or stereoisomers needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Molecules having same molecular formula and different bonding connectivity are called constitutional isomers.
Stereoisomers have same molecular formula and same bonding connectivity, but they differ in three-dimensional arrangement of atoms.
(c)

- When d-glucose is reduced with sodium borohydride, optically active glucitol results.When optically active d-galactose is reduced, however, the product is optically inactive.Explain this loss of optical activityarrow_forwardDraw the structure of D-glucose as a Fischer projection. How many steroisomeric forms are there of the aldohexoses?arrow_forwardRaffinose is a trisaccharide (C18H32O16) isolated from cottonseed meal. Raffinose doesnot reduce Tollens reagent, and it does not mutarotate. Complete hydrolysis of raffinosegives d-glucose, d-fructose, and d-galactose. When raffinose is treated with invertase,the products are d-fructose and a reducing disaccharide called melibiose. Raffinose isunaffected by treatment with a b@galactosidase, but an a@galactosidase hydrolyzes itto d-galactose and sucrose. When raffinose is treated with dimethyl sulfate and basefollowed by hydrolysis, the products are 2,3,4-tri-O-methylglucose, 1,3,4,6-tetraO-methylfructose, and 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methylgalactose. Determine the completestructures of raffinose and melibiose, and give a systematic name for melibiose.arrow_forward
