Treatment of a 258 mg sample of amylopectin by the methylation and hydrolysis procedure described yielded 12.4 mg of 2,3‑di‑O‑methylglucose. Determine what percentage of the glucose residues in amylopectin contained an (α1→6) branch. (Assume that the average molecular weight of a glucose residue in amylopectin is 162 g/mol and the molecular weight of 2,3‑di‑O‑methylglucose is 208 g/mol.) (   α1→6) branched glucose residues:       %

Emil Fischer synthesized l-gulose, an unusual aldohexose that reduces to give d-glucitol.Suggest a structure for this l sugar, and show how l-gulose gives the same alditol asd-glucose. (Hint: d-Glucitol has ¬CH2OH groups at both ends. Either of these primaryalcohol groups might have come from reduction of an aldehyde.)
