Chapter 24, Problem 24.14P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structure and name of the aldose and $\text{2-ketose}$ in which $\text{D-galactose}$ would be transformed on treatment with base are to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The compounds which are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen possessing the general formula, ${\text{C}}_{\text{x}}{\left({\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}\right)}_{\text{y}}$ are known as carbohydrates. These are the organic compounds obtained from the green plants. The basic sugar or carbohydrate needed by a living organism as a source of energy is known as glucose with the molecular formula, ${\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{12}}{\text{O}}_{\text{6}}$.
