Chapter 28, Problem 28.27P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The structures for compound A and B are to be predicted.

Concept introduction: Wohl degradation is a method which is used for the contraction of the carbon chains in aldose. In this method, the aldose chain shortens by the cleavage of C1-C2 bond.

Which D-aldopentose is oxidized to an optically active aldaric acid and undergoes the Wohl degradation to yield a Daldotetrose that is oxidized to an optically active aldaric acid?
A D-aldopentose A is reduced to an optically active alditol. Upon Kiliani–Fischer synthesis, A is converted to two D-aldohexoses, B and C. B is oxidized to an optically inactive aldaric acid. C is oxidized to an optically active aldaric acid. What are the structures of A–C?
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?
