Interpretation:
The names and structures of the aldohexoses based on the results of the products obtained through the reaction of these aldohexoses with phenyl hydrazine and hydrogen (in presence of catalyst) are to be given.
Concept introduction:
舧 A carbohydrate is a
舧
舧 Carbohydrates are oxidized by
舧 Aldaric acids are carbohydrates having two
舧 Monosaccharides containing six carbon atoms and an
舧 Alditols are compounds produced from aldoses or ketoses on reduction with certain reagents such as sodium borohydride (
舧
Compounds formed by the reaction of reducing sugars with excess of phenyl hydrazine are called osazones. Osazones are products of oxidation and are produced by all reducing sugars.
舧
Fischer projection is a way of representing the structural formulae of compounds through cross formulation of their open chain structures.
