Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The acetal and hemiacetal in isomaltose should be labeled.
Concept Introduction:
In a hemiacetal, an alcohol and ether attached to the same carbon.
A hemiacetal with an alcohol forms an acetal.
(b)
Interpretation:
The monosaccharide ring should be numbered.
Concept Introduction:
Monosaccharides or simple sugars are the simplest carbohydrates. Generally, have three to six carbon atoms in achain, with a carbonyl group at either the terminal carbon, numbered C1, or the carbon adjacentto it, numbered C2.
(c)
Interpretation:
Glycosidic linkage needs to be classified as a or β and its location should be designated using numbers.
Concept Introduction:
Disaccharides are carbohydrates composed of two monosaccharides.
Disaccharides are acetals, compounds that contain two alkoxy groups (OR groups) bonded to the same carbon.
A disaccharide results when a hemiacetal of one monosaccharide reacts with a hydroxyl group of a second monosaccharide to form an acetal. The new C-O bond that joins the two rings together is called a glycosidic linkage.
The two monosaccharide rings may be five-membered or six-membered. All disaccharides contain at least one acetal that joins the rings together. Each ring is numbered beginning at the anomeric carbon, the carbon in each ring bonded to two oxygen atoms
An a glycoside has the glycosidic linkage oriented down, below the plane of the ring that
contains the acetal joining the monosaccharides.
A β glycoside has the glycosidic linkage oriented up, above the plane of the ring that
contains the acetal joining the monosaccharides.
(d)
Interpretation:
Whether the hemiacetal drawn is n a or β anomer should be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
Anomers are cyclic monosaccharides or glycosides that are epimers, differing from each other in the configuration of C-1 if they are aldoses or in the configuration at C-2 if they are ketoses. The epimeric carbon in anomers are known as anomeric carbon or anomeric center.
Depending on the orientation of carbon number 1 when the carbon number 5 hydroxyl bonds to it, two different forms can result.
These two forms are identical except for the configuration around C1. These two forms are called anomers.
C1 is called the anomeric carbon. If the hydroxyl group on C1 and the -CH2OH group on C5 are on opposite sides of the six-membered ring, C1 is known to be the a anomer.
If they are on the same side, C1 is known to be the β anomer.
(e)
Interpretation:
The monosaccharide formed when isomaltose is hydrolyzed should be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
Disaccharides are carbohydrates composed of two monosaccharides.
Disaccharides are acetals, compounds that contain two alkoxy groups (OR groups) bonded to the same carbon.
A disaccharide results when a hemiacetal of one monosaccharide reacts with a hydroxyl group of a second monosaccharide to form an acetal. The new C-O bond that joins the two rings together is called a glycosidic linkage.
The two monosaccharide rings may be five-membered or six-membered. All disaccharides contain at least one acetal that joins the rings together. Each ring is numbered beginning at the anomeric carbon, the carbon in each ring bonded to two oxygen atoms.
The hydrolysis of a disaccharide cleaves the C-O glycosidic linkage and forms two monosaccharides.

- Synthesis of Ibuprofen-Part 2: 1. Some pain relievers including ibuprofen (MotrinⓇ) and naproxen (Aleve®) are "α-arylpropanoic acids." Look up the structure of naproxen (AleveⓇ), another a-arylpropionic acid. Using the same reactions that we used for making ibuprofen, show how to make naproxen from the compound below. Show all intermediates and reagents in your synthesis. Show how you would prepare ibuprofen starting from p-isobutylbenzene rather than p-isobutylacetophenenone. What reaction steps would need to change/add? 3. What signals appeared/disappeared/shifted that indicate that you have your intended product and not starting material? What other impurities are present in your product and how do you know?arrow_forwardAcid Catalyzed Aromatization of Carvone: 1. Starting with the ketone, below, draw a mechanism for the reaction to give the phenol as shown. H2SO4 HO- H₂O 2. Why do we use CDCl instead of CHCl, for acquiring our NMR spectra? 3. Why does it not matter which enantiomer of carvone is used for this reaction? What signals appeared/disappeared/shifted that indicate that you have your intended product and not starting material?

Draw the product of each of the reactions below and give the formula mass to the nearest whole number. ? (1) NaBH (2) acid (1) NaBD4 (2) acid ? 2. In mass spectra, alcohols typically break as shown in equation 8 in chapter 11 (refer to your lab manual). The larger group is generally lost and this gives rise to the base peak in the mass spectrum. For the products of each of the reactions in question # 1, draw the ion corresponding to the base peak for that product and give its mass to charge ratio (m/z). 3. Given the reaction below, calculate how many mg of 1-phenyl-1-butanol that can be produced using 31 mg NaBH4 and an excess of butyrophenone. 4. + NaBH4 OH (after workup with dilute HCI) What signals appeared/disappeared/shifted that indicate that you have your intended product and not starting material?
