Concept introduction:
舧 Chair conformations: It is the most stable conformation, which accurately shows the spatial arrangement of atoms.
舧 Equatorial bonds are parallel to the average plane of the ring, whereas axial bonds are perpendicular to the average plane of the ring.
舧 The conformation having bonds at the equatorial positions are more stable than those with bonds at the axial position.
舧 On flipping the cyclohexane ring, axial bonds become equatorial bonds and equatorial bonds becomes axial bond.
舧 Bulkier group acquires equatorial positions to form stable conformer due to steric factors.
舧 The most stable configuration of aldopyranoses is when the
舧 Stereochemistry: The equatorial orientation refers to the spatial arrangement of
舧 The stability of the atom can be estimated at the values of the anomeric effect of the
舧 The anomeric effect is lowest for sugars with equatorial orientation, which results in lower energetic state, and consequently this type of orientation confers higher stability.
舧 The anomeric effect is highest for sugars with axial orientation, which results in higher energetic state, and consequently this type of orientation confers lower stability.

- Draw and name the seven aldehydes and ketones with the formula C5H10O. Which are chiral?arrow_forwardOne step in the gluconeogenesis pathway for the biosynthesis of glucose is the partial reduction of 3-phosphoglycerate to give glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. The process occurs by phosphorylation with ATP to give 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate, reaction with a thiol group on the enzyme to give an enzyme-bound thioester, and reduction with NADH. -OPO3²- Enz-SH H-C-OH ATP CH₂OPO3²- 3-phosphoglycerate O 0-0--0 O ADP CH₂CH3 substitute for 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate C H-C-OH CH₂OPO3²- 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate O=C CH3-SH substitute for Enz-SH H H-C-OH | CH₂OPO3²- PO4³- O.

- The most stable conformation of the pyranose ring of most D-aldohexoses places the largest group, CH2OH, in the equatorial position. An exception to this is the aldohexose D-idose. Draw the two possible chair conformations of either the a or ß anomer of D-idose. Explain why the more stable conformation has the CH2OH group in the axial position.arrow_forwardA graduate student was studying enzymatic reductions of cyclohexanones when she encountered some interesting chemistry. When she used an enzyme and NADPH to reduce the following ketone, she was surprised to find that the product was optically active. She carefully repurified the product so that no enzyme, NADPH, or other contaminants were present. Still, the product was optically active. Does the product have any asymmetric carbon atoms or other stereocenters?arrow_forwardDraw the two aldohexoses and one ketohexose that can be derived from the enol shownbelowarrow_forward
- If the following compound is saponified with sodium hydroxide, the products are: O || CH3(CH2) 14CH2-C-O-CH₂CH3 an ester and an alcohol an alcohol and a salt an acid and a salt an acid and an alcohol The purpose of the acid catalyst in the hydrolysis of an amide is: to enhance the nucleophilicity of the water molecule to enhance the electrophilicity of the amide carbonyl carbon to enhance the electrophilicity of the water molecule to shift the equilibrium of the reaction Which of the following compounds has the highest boiling point? CH3CH3 CH3CH2OH CH3-0-CH3 CH3COOHarrow_forwardLook up the structure of lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse), a drug used in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Redraw it and identify all the functional groups present. What is known about itstherapeutic properties?arrow_forwardBetamethasone is a synthetic anti-inammatory steroid used as a topical cream for itching. Betamethasone is derived from cortisol, with the following structural additions: a C=C between C1 and C2, a uorine at C9, and a methyl group at C16. The configuration at C9 is R, and the configuration at C16 is S. Draw the structure of betamethasone.arrow_forward
- The following bicyclic ketone has two a-carbons and three a-hydrogens. When this molecule is treated with D,O in the presence of an acid catalyst, only two of the three a-hydrogens exchange with deuterium. The a-hydrogen at the bridgehead does not exchange. H these two a-hydrogens exchange H. this a-hydrogen does not exchange H How do you account for the fact that two a-hydrogens do exchange but the third does not? You will find it helpful to build models of the enols by which exchange of a-hydrogens occurs.arrow_forwardTropone is an unusually basic carbonyl (C=O) compound. When it is treated with one equivalent of the strong acid HBF4, it forms A, C7H7OBF4. Draw the strucutre of A as its most stable resonance structure.arrow_forwardQ11arrow_forward
