Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reactions for Ruff degradation of D-arabinose and Kiliani Fischer synthesis of D-erythrose are to be shown and the structure of D-ribose is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Ruff degradation is a method which is used to shorten sugar chain. It is a two step process which starts with a bromine-water oxidation of the aldose to its aldonic acid. Then in the second step treatment of aldonic acid with hydrogen peroxide and ferric sulfate oxidizes the carbonyl group to CO2 and give aldose with one fewer carbon atom. It is used primarily for the determination of structure and synthesis of new sugar.

The Kiliani Fischer synthesis is a method of lengthening an aldose carbon chain by adding one carbon atom to the aldehyde end of the aldose. In Kiliani Fischer synthesis, the aldehyde carbon atom is made asymmetric with the formation of cyanohydrins in the first step. Then in the second step the hydrogenation of the following cyanohydrin gives two imines, which hydrolyzes to give aldehyde.

Ruff degradation and Kiliani Fischer synthesis are the opposite methods of each other.
