An important technique for establishing relative configurations among isomeric aldoses and ketoses is to convert both terminal carbon atoms to the same functional group. This can be done either by selective oxidation or reduction. As a specific example, nitric acid oxidation of d-erythrose gives meso-tartaric acid . Similar oxidation of d-threose gives (2S,3S)-tartaric acid. Given this information and the fact that d-erythrose and d-threose are diastereomers, draw Fischer projections for d-erythrose and d-threose. Check your answers against Table 25.1.
Draw the structure of alpha-d-glucopyranose in straight chain cyclic, Haworth and cyclohexane-chair format. Draw the structures of two aldohexoses which are diastereomers but not epimers
4. An iterative approach to oligosaccharide synthesis involves the use of protected glycals (sugars with C1-C2 double bond) as shown below. The product from the reaction of the first glycal with DMDO under anhydrous conditions is treated with another suitably-protected glycal to form a disaccharide glycal, and the process can be repeated to form a trisaccharide glycal, and so on... Crucial to the success of this approach is the stereoselective formation of the intermediate A in the scheme below. Draw the structure of A. DMDO CH₂Cl2 A OH ZnCl₂, THF OH
