Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The structure of L-(+)-threose and L-(+)-erythrose is to be represented and the aldotriose, which must be used for the preparation of the above-mentioned compounds in the Kiliani-Fischer synthesis, is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
▸ The Kiliani-Fischer reaction is used for increasing the number of carbon atoms of an aldose molecule, as a result of the formation of the epimeric aldonic acid.
▸ It is an effective and economic process for the synthesis of monosaccharides by the process of hydrolysis of a cyanohydrin.
▸ Furthermore, it can also be used for the production of epimers of higher aldoses from a lower aldose, that is, a single aldose produces a mixture of two diastereomeric sugars called epimers.

- Using what we have learned in CHEM 2310 and up through class on 1/31, propose a series of reaction steps to achieve the transformation below. Be sure to show all reagents and intermediates for full credit. You do not need to draw mechanism arrows, but you do need to include charges where appropriate. If you do not put your group name, you will get half credit at most. ?
