Example:
Acid Catalyzed Hydration Reaction: The reaction involves breaking of phi bonds between carbon-carbon multiple bonds and addition of alcohol to more substituted position of carbon in the molecule.
First step is the acid donates proton to the
Then, the water is added to the given alkene through acid catalyzed reaction where the water gets added to the carbo cation finally, the removal of one proton from oxonium ion (oxygen with one positive charge) using water results in the formation of product.
Optical activity: molecule or substances that can rotate the plane-polarized light are said to be optically active.
Meso compound are optically inactive, because meso compound is a stereoisomer with an identical or superimposable mirror image.
Plane of symmetry: When structure of the compound can be cut into two equal halves along the plane. Then such plane is called as plane of symmetry.
The stereoisomerism is the arrangement of atoms in molecules whose connectivity remains the same but their arrangement in different in each isomer.

- Ring-A is considered a deoxy-pyranoside because it is missing an alcohol functional group on which carbon of ring-A? Use standard carbohydrate numbering. E в он он Oleandrin is a toxic cardiac glycoside found in the poisonous plant, oleander (Nerium oleander L). It has a very long IUPAC name: acetic acid [(35,5R, 10S,13R,14S,16S,17'R)-14-hydroxy-3-[[(2R,4S,5S,6S)-5-hydroxy-4-methoxy-6-methyl- 2-tetrahydropyranyl]oxy]-10,13-dimethyl-17-(5-oxo-2H-furan-3-y)-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,11,12,15,16,17- tetradecahydrocyclopenta[a]phenanthren-16-yl] ester B.arrow_forwardDraw the product formed when CH3CH2C=CH is treated with each of the following sets of reagents: (a) H2O, H2SO4, HgSO4; and (b) R2BH, followed by H2O2, HO−.arrow_forwardThe following isomerization reaction, drawn using D-glucose as starting material, occurs with all aldohexoses in the presence of base.

- Treatment of -D-glucose with methanol in the presence of an acid catalyst converts it into a mixture of two compounds called methyl glucosides (Section 25.3A). In these representations, the six-membered rings are drawn as planar hexagons. (a) Propose a mechanism for this conversion and account for the fact that only the OH on carbon 1 is transformed into an OCH3 group. (b) Draw the more stable chair conformation for each product. (c) Which of the two products has the chair conformation of greater stability? Explain.arrow_forwardFats can be either optically active or optically inactive, depending on their structure. Draw the structure of an optically active fat that yields 2 equivalents of stearic acid and 1 equivalent of oleic acid on hydrolysis. Draw the structure of an optically inactive fat that yields the same products.arrow_forwardA graduate student was studying enzymatic reductions of cyclohexanones when she encountered some interesting chemistry. When she used an enzyme and NADPH to reduce the following ketone, she was surprised to find that the product was optically active. She carefully repurified the product so that no enzyme, NADPH, or other contaminants were present. Still, the product was optically active. Is the product capable of showing optical activity? If it is, explain how.arrow_forward
- All the glucose units in dextran have six-membered rings. When a sample of dextran is treated with methyl iodide and Ag2O and the product ishydrolyzed under acidic conditions, the final products are 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-d-glucose, 2,4,6-tri-O-methyl-d-glucose, 2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-d-glucose, and 2,4-di-O-methyl-d-glucose.

Explain why one stereogenic center changes configuration but the other does not.arrow_forward1. Trehalose is a disaccharide that can be obtained from fungi, sea urchins and insects. Acid hydrolysis of trehalose yields only D-glucose. Trehalose is hydrolysed by α-glucosidase and not by β-glucosidase enzymes. Methylation of trehalose followed by hydrolysis yields two molar equivalents of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-D-glucopyranose.From the following experimental data, deduce the structure of trehalose.What will be the effect of trehalose on Fehling’s solution? 2.Suggest a test you will use to show that a given food substance contains proteinarrow_forward
