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
舧 Aldaric acids (obtained from oxidation of aldohexoses) produces lactones of the same order that is as:
舧 The reaction in which there is removal of water molecule is called dehydration reaction.

- (ii) Describe the key molecular structure features of the pharmacologically active 2- oxazolidinone group of antibacterial agents.arrow_forwardDraw the structures of the following compounds:(a) tert-butylaminearrow_forward22.47 Tertiary amines with three different alkyl groups are chiral but cannot be resolved because pyramidal inversion causes racemization at room temperature. Nevertheless, chiral aziridines can be resolved and stored at room temperature. Aziridine is a three-membered heterocycle containing a nitrogen atom. The following is an example of a chiral aziridine. In this compound, the nitrogen atom is a chiral center. Suggest a reason why chiral aziridines do not undergo racemization at room temperature.arrow_forward
- Give reasons: (i) Bond length of C = O in carboxylic acids is slightly larger than C = O bond length in carbonyl compounds. (ii) There are two –NH2 groups in semicarbazide. However, only one –NH2 group is involved in the formation of semicarbazones. (iii) Benzoic acid is less soluble in water than acetic acid. (iv) Formic acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid.arrow_forward1. Draw structures corresponding to the following IUPAC names: (a) 4-Methylpentanoic acid (b) o-Hydroxybenzoic acid (c) 2,2-Dimethylpropanoyl chloride (d) trans-2-Methylcyclohexanecarboxamide (e) p-Methylbenzoic anhydride (f) p-Bromobenzonitrilearrow_forward(a) Compound Z is a tertiary aromatic amine with the formula, C8H11N. Provide a chemical structure for compound Z. (b)nDraw the structure of the product formed exclusively when nitrous acid reacts with Z.arrow_forward
- 19.62 Naltrexone is used to help recovering narcotic addicts stay drug free. HO O OH naltrexone LO1,6,7 (a) Label and name all the functional groups. Where relevant, indicate whether the group is primary, secondary or tertiary. (b) Upon addition of dilute hydrochloric acid solution, naltrexone forms a water-soluble salt. Draw the structure of this salt.arrow_forwardb) Disaccharide E is a reducing sugar. It is hydrolyzed by an α-glycosidase enzyme, which means it contains an α- glycoside link. Treatment of E with Ag2O and excess Mel gives an octamethyl derivative F. Hydrolysis of F in dilute aqueous acid gives the pair of molecules shown below. Write the structures of E and F. (If the stereochemistry at a particular carbon is not determined by the above data, indicate this with a wavy line as shown below.) HO OMe OMe Is is MeO MeO MOH OMe mOH OMe OMearrow_forwardPlease draw the skeletal formula of the following compounds: (A) Isobutyraldehyde (B) α-Ethyl-γ-methoxycaproaldehyde (C) 6-Hydroxyhexanal (D) 2,4-Pentanedione (E)3-Cyano-7-oxoheptanoic acidarrow_forward
- The odor of ripe bananas and many other fruits is due to the presence of esters. For example: Banana oil (isopentyl acetate) (a) Write the name (common or IUPAC) of the ester responsible for the fragrance of the following: pineapple, orange, apple, peach, & lavender (b) Choose one fragrant from (a) and name the alcohol and the carboxylic acid needed to synthesize this ester. (c) Show the detailed mechanism of the Fischer Esterification reaction that will be involved in the synthesis of the fragrant you have chosen in part (a).arrow_forwardQuinapril (trade name Accupril) is used to treat high blood pressure and congestive heart failure. One step in the synthesis of quinapril involves reaction of the racemic alkyl bromide A with a single enantiomer of the amino ester B. (a) What two products are formed in this reaction? (b) Given the structure of quinapril, which one of these two products is needed to synthesize the drug?arrow_forwardQuinapril (trade name Accupril) is used to treat high blood pressure and congestive heart failure.
