b) Compounds A and B have the following properties: Compound A (C5H1005) is an optically active D-pentose that exists exclusively as an acyclic molecule. (Hint: that sentence alone completely determines the structure of A! But we generously give you more information.) • Compound A does not react with Br₂/H₂O. • Reduction of A with NaBH4 gives only one product, B (C5H12O5), which is optically active. Write acyclic Fischer projection structures of A and B.

b) Disaccharide E is a reducing sugar. It is hydrolyzed by an α-glycosidase enzyme, which means it contains an α- glycoside link. Treatment of E with Ag2O and excess Mel gives an octamethyl derivative F. Hydrolysis of F in dilute aqueous acid gives the pair of molecules shown below. Write the structures of E and F. (If the stereochemistry at a particular carbon is not determined by the above data, indicate this with a wavy line as shown below.) HO OMe OMe Is is MeO MeO MOH OMe mOH OMe OMe

Q14 Which statement among the following is incorrect concerning the oxidation or reduction of organic molecules? -Oxidation of alcohols is usually done under acidic or basic conditions to facilitate electron transfer. b- PCC will not oxidize an aldehyde to a carboxylic acid. -All alcohols can be oxidized to form one of an aldehyde, ketone, or carboxylic acid. Reaction of a ketone with a Grignard reagent in ether, followed by dilute acid work-up, produces a tertiary alcohol.
