(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

An example of an aldopentose has to be given that is a D sugar.

Concept Introduction:

Simplest carbohydrates are known as monosaccharides.  They contain three to six carbons generally in a chain form with a carbonyl group present in the terminal or the adjacent carbon atom from the terminal.  Monosaccharides that have the carbonyl group at the terminal carbon atom C1 are known as aldoses and the monosaccharides that have the carbonyl group on the adjacent carbon atom C2 are known as ketoses.

The number of carbon atoms present in the chain characterize the monosaccharide.  They are given below.

  • Carbon chain with three carbon atoms is triose.
  • Carbon chain with four carbon atoms is tetrose.
  • Carbon chain with five carbon atoms is as pentose.
  • Carbon chain with six carbon atoms is as hexose.

A carbon atom that is bonded to four different groups is known as a chiral carbon atom.  This can rotate the plane polarized light.  D- and L- isomers of monosaccharide can be identified by looking into the chiral center that is farther from the carbonyl group.  In a Fischer projection, if the OH group is present on the right side in the chiral center that is farthest from the carbonyl group means it is a D monosaccharide and if the OH group is present on the left side means it is a L monosaccharide.

I have a question here so in essence were just comparing the electronegativity values that are being given, soC and Cl, C and O, C and H to determine the partially positive, partially negative charges? So option I: Cl and C, option 2 O and C, option III C on its own correct?
Draw the less stable chair conformation of myo-inositol clearly indicating the axial and equatorial substituents as well as the cis and trans relationships of at least 3 OH groups. Draw a viable Newman Projection using any carbon carbon bond clearly showing a gauche interaction between the substituents.
5. What is the product for the following reaction for each step and draw the mechanism H 1. NaNH2 2, EtBr
