Chapter 16.5, Problem 8P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mechanism for the base-catalyzed conversion of D-fructose to D-glucose and D-mannose has to be written.

Concept Introduction:

In the conversion of D-fructose to D-glucose the base is required as a catalyst.  Therefore, such reactions are called base catalyzed reactions.  The base first removes a proton from carbon position 1 and forms an enolate ion. The enolate ion is further protonated by the other proton. That proton comes from the top or from the bottom of the planar sp2-hybridized carbon.
