Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The hexose obtained after three successive Killiani-Fisher synthesis of (+)-glyceraldehyde is to be predicted on the basis of given information.

Concept Introduction:

In Killiani-Fisher synthesis, hydrogen cyanide attacks the carbonyl group.  The carbonyl carbon is converted to an asymmetric center.  The CN bond is reduced to an imine which is partially deactivated by palladium catalyst to prevent the reduction of imine to an amine.  The two imines are hydrolyzed to two aldoses.

A hexose was obtained after (+)-glyceraldehyde underwent three successive Kiliani–Fischer syntheses. Identify the hexose from the following experimental information: oxidation with nitric acid forms an optically active aldaric acid; a Wohl degradation followed by oxidation with nitric acid forms an optically inactive aldaric acid; and a second Wohl degradation forms erythrose.
Aldohexoses A and B are formed from aldopentose C via a Kiliani–Fischer synthesis. Nitric acid oxidizes A to an optically active aldaric acid, B to an optically inactive aldaric acid, and C to an optically active aldaric acid. Wohl degradation of C forms D, which is oxidized by nitric acid to an optically active aldaric acid. Wohl degradation of D forms (+)-glyceraldehyde. Identify A, B, C, and D.
A D-aldopentose A is oxidized to an optically inactive aldaric acid with HNO3. A is formed by the Kiliani–Fischer synthesis of a D-aldotetrose B, which is also oxidized to an optically inactive aldaric acid with HNO3. What are the structures of A and B?
