Concept introduction:
舧 A carbohydrate is a biomolecule consisting of carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) atoms, usually with a hydrogen-oxygen atom ratio of 2:1
舧
舧 Carbohydrates are oxidized by
舧 Aldaric acids are carbohydrates having two
舧 The molecules that are nonsuperimposable or not identical with their mirror images are known as chiral molecules.
舧 A pair of two mirror images that are nonidentical is known as enantiomers, which are optically active.
舧 The stereoisomers that are nonsuperimposable on each other and not mirror images of each other are known as diastereomers.
舧 The achiral compounds in which plane of symmetry is present internally and consists of chiral centres are known as meso compounds, but they are optically inactive.
舧 Compounds that have a plane of symmetry tend to exist in meso forms. A meso form arises when the two stereoisomers produce superimposable images, and hence, compounds having meso forms are optically inactive.
舧
舧 Aldaric acids (obtained from oxidation of aldohexoses) produce lactones of the order.
舧 Fischer formulated new aldohexose products from glucose by interchanging the end-groups of the

- When the gum of the shrub Sterculia setigera is subjected to acidic hydrolysis, one of the water-soluble components of thehydrolysate is found to be tagatose. The following information is known about tagatose:(1) Molecular formula C6H12O6(2) Undergoes mutarotation.(3) Does not react with bromine water.(4) Reduces Tollens reagent to give d-galactonic acid and d-talonic acid.(5) Methylation of tagatose (using excess CH3 I and Ag2O) followed by acidic hydrolysis gives1,3,4,5-tetra-O-methyltagatose.(a) Draw a Fischer projection structure for the open-chain form of tagatose.(b) Draw the most stable conformation of the most stable cyclic hemiacetal form of tagatosearrow_forward2. a) Draw the following: (a) nonanamide (b) N-methyloctanamide (c) (d) N-ethyl-N-propylpropanamide N-ethyl-2,4,6-trimethyldecanamidearrow_forwardd-Glucuronic acid is found widely in plants and animals. One of its functions is to detoxify poisonous HO-containing compounds by reacting with them in the liver to form glucuronides. Glucuronides are water soluble and, therefore, readily excreted. After ingestion of a poison such as turpentine or phenol, the glucuronides of these compounds are found in urine. Draw the structure of the glucuronide formed by the reaction of beta-d-glucuronic acid and phenol.arrow_forward
