Chapter 24.4, Problem 3P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The Fisher projection for L(+)- Arabinose is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

An asymmetric carbon atom is represented as a cross in Fisher projection. The carbon chain is kept along the vertical line. The groups attached to asymmetric carbon atoms are arranged according to their configuration in Fisher projection.

The enantiomers of a chiral compound can be named with the help of right hand and left-hand configuration.

Aldopentose contains five carbon atoms and is a linear monosaccharide. D-erythrose and L-erythrose are enantiomers of each other. Also, D-threose and L-threose are enantiomers of each other.

Define each in 20 words or less: (a) anomeric carbon; (b) enantiomers; (c) furanose and pyranose; (d) glycoside; (e) aldose and ketose. 29. A) Draw the structure of any aldohexose in the pyranose ring form. B) Draw the structure of the anomer of the aldohexose you drew above. C) How many asymmetric carbons (chiral centers) does each of these structures have? D) How many stereoisomers of the aldohexoses you drew are theoretically possible? 30. A) Define "reducing sugar." (b) Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose (Glc(1 → 2)Fru). Explain why sucrose is not a reducing sugar, even though both glucose and fructose are.
A D-aldopentose is oxidized by nitric acid to an optically active aldaric acid. A Wohl degradation of the aldopentose leads to a monosaccharide that is oxidized by nitric acid to an optically inactive aldaric acid. Identify the D-aldopentose.
