Compound A is a D-aldopentose that can be oxidized to an optically inactive aldaric acid B. On Kiliani-Fischer chain extension, A is
converted into C and D; C can be oxidized to an optically active aldaric acid E, but D is oxidized to an optically inactive aldaric acid
F.
What is the structure of compound F?
• Use the wedge/hash bond tools to indicate stereochemistry where it exists.
You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms.
If a group is achiral, do not use wedged or hashed bonds on it.

What is the primary difference between these structures and that of aniline that lead to their planarity? 1. In contrast to aniline, the amino groups on the DNA bases are necessary to make the heterocyclic rings aromatic. 2. In contrast to aniline, the contributing structures that delocalize the nitrogen lone pairs onto the rings creates partial negative charges on electronegative atoms. 3. In contrast to aniline, the hydrogen bond accepting ability of the lone pairs on the -NH2 groups of the DNA bases is better when these amino groups are sp2 hybridized. 4. Both 2 and 3.arrow_forward
