Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A mechanism for the interconversion of glucose and mannose when treated with dilute aqueous NaOH is to be proposed.

Concept introduction:

The steps involved in the interconversion of glucose and mannose when treated with dilute aqueous NaOH are i) Removal of a proton from the carbon α-to the carbonyl group to form an enolate anion ii) Reprotonation of the enolate anion.

To show:

A mechanism for the interconversion of glucose and mannose when treated with dilute aqueous NaOH.

Propose a mechanism for the formation of D-allose from D-glucose in a basic solution.
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
An optically active D-aldopentose (A) produced an optically inactive alditol (B) upon treatment with H2/Pt. When the aldopentose (A) was subjected to a Ruff degradation, D-aldotetrose (C) was generated. The aldotetrose (C) gave an optically active aldaric acid (D) upon oxidation with HNO3. D-aldopentose (A) can be prepared from D-threose by a Killani Fischer synthesis. Propose structure of A through D.
