Chapter 24.8, Problem 8P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The percent of α- and β-D-mannopyranose isomer at equilibrium has to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

A mixture that has an equal amount of enantiomers is commonly known as a racemic mixture. Enantiomers have non-superimposable mirror images of one other and therefore; they rotate the plane of polarized light in the opposite but equal direction. The racemic mixture is optically inactive in nature.

The property of a chiral compound in which the compound changes the orientation of the monochromatic light is known as specific rotation. This change in orientation takes place per unit distance-concentration of the product.

All are true or false  a)In solution, glucose is in the cyclic acetal form only. b)The driving force for the Wittig reaction is the elimination of triphenylphosphine oxide c)1H NMR spectroscopy, you can tell the difference between an aldehyde and a ketone because an aldehyde has a proton signal between 9–10 ppm. d)When an aldehyde is reacted with excess ethanol with an acid as a catalyst it is called hemiacetal e) You can't use acidic conditions (such as aqueous hydrochloric acid) for the addition of a Grignard reagent to a ketone because the ketone will be protonated and thus unreactive
Saquinavir (trade name Invirase) is a protease inhibitor, used to treat HIV(human immunodeficiency virus). Question : Locate all stereogenic centers in saquinavir, and label eachstereogenic center as R or S.
trehalose is a disacharide that can be obtained from fungi sea uchins and insects. acid hydrolysis of trehalose yields only D-glucose. trehalose is hydrolysed by a-glucosidase but not b-glucosidase.methylation of trhalose followed by hydrolysis yield two molar equivalents of 2-3-4-6 -tetra-O-methyl-D-glucopyranose. deduce the structure of the trehalose using the experimental data
