Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

In the structure of 6-deoxyerythronolide B, the number of carbon atoms which come from acetate and from propanoateare to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Many polyketides have one or more methyl groups attached to their carbon chain.

Polyketides contain alternate C=O and CH2 groups as well ascompounds derived from them.

An acetate contains two carbon atoms in a chain such that a methyl group is directly attached to a carbonyl.

A propanoate contains three carbon atoms in a chain such that an ethyl group is directly attached to a carbonyl.

Myo-inositol, the most prominent naturally occurring form of inositols, is a carbocyclic polyol that plays an important role as the structural basis for a number of secondary messengers in eukaryotic cells. It is generated in vivo from the aldol cyclization of glucose-6-phosphate to myo-inositol-1-phosphate

When the gum of the shrub Sterculia setigera is subjected to acidic hydrolysis, one of the water-soluble components of thehydrolysate is found to be tagatose. The following information is known about tagatose:(1) Molecular formula C6H12O6(2) Undergoes mutarotation.(3) Does not react with bromine water.(4) Reduces Tollens reagent to give d-galactonic acid and d-talonic acid.(5) Methylation of tagatose (using excess CH3 I and Ag2O) followed by acidic hydrolysis gives1,3,4,5-tetra-O-methyltagatose.(a) Draw a Fischer projection structure for the open-chain form of tagatose.(b) Draw the most stable conformation of the most stable cyclic hemiacetal form of tagatose
