A D-aldohexose A is formed from an aldopentose B by the Kiliani–Fischer synthesis. Reduction of A with NaBH4 forms an optically inactive alditol. Oxidation of B forms an optically active aldaric acid. What are the structures of A and B?
An oligosaccharide isolated from an organism is found tocontain two glucose residues and one galactose residue.Exhaustive methylation followed by hydrolysis producedtwo glucoses with methoxy groups at positions 2, 3,and 6 and galactose with methoxy groups at positions2, 3, 4, and 6. What is the structure of the originaloligosaccharide?
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?
