Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The description of the reaction between fructose and phenylhydrazine using the Fischer projection formula is to be represented; and the description of the information regarding stereochemistry, which can be obtained on the basis of this reaction is to be represented.
Concept Introduction:
▸ Stereochemistry: A carbon atom that has four different groups attached to it is called as a stereogenic or chirality center of that atom. A stereocenter is that point in a molecule, where any two groups exchange their places to form stereoisomers. Furthermore, the pair of diastereomers that show different configuration at the chirality center are called epimers.
▸ Fischer projection is a way of representing the

- Draw the structures (using chair conformations of pyranoses) of the following disaccharides.(a) 4-O-(a-d-glucopyranosyl)-d-galactopyranose(arrow_forwardIdentify monomeric and multimeric (di-,tri-meric, for example) saccharides from this group. If you come across multimeric polypeptides, state the mono- mers that form these multimers. State the nature of the bond that links two units together in each case. (a) Maltose (b) Trehalose (c) Lactose (d) Sucrose (e) Cellobiose (f) Agarosearrow_forwardCompound A is a D-aldopentose that can be oxidized to an optically inactive aldaric acid B. On Kiliani-Fischer chain extension, A is converted into C and D; C can be oxidized to an optically active aldaric acid E, but D is oxidized to an optically inactive aldaric acid F. What is the structure of compound F? • Use the wedge/hash bond tools to indicate stereochemistry where it exists. You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. If a group is achiral, do not use wedged or hashed bonds on it. • Show stereochemistry in a meso compound. • Do not include lone pairs in your answer. They will not be considered in the grading.arrow_forward

OH НО OH (a) Identify the glycosidic linkage and the acetal carbon in lactose. (b) What type of glycosidic linkage does lactose have (i.e., is it 1,1'-, 1,2'-, etc., and is it a or B)? (c) People who are lactose intolerant are deficient in the enzyme lactase, and therefore cannot efficiently break down the disaccharide into its monosaccharides. When lactose is treated with aqueous acid, however, this hydrolysis can take place, though relatively slowly.

The product is the C4epimer of fructose. Draw the furanose structure of the product.arrow_forwardCarbohydrates a. Compound Z is an aldopentose. If Z is oxidized with nitric acid the product is optically active. If Z undergoes one Ruff degradation and the product of that degradation is reduced to the alditol using H₂/Ni the resulting product is optically inactive. If compound Z undergoes two Ruff degradations, D-glyceraldehyde (shown below) is obtained. Draw the usual Fischer projection of Z (aldehyde at the top). (Hint: work backwards from D- glyceraldehyde.)
