Interpretation:
The structure of missing compounds present in Wohl degradation reaction is to be stated. The curved-arrow mechanism for conversion of B to C and C to arabinose in the Wohl degradation reaction is to be shown.
Concept Introduction:
Wohl degradation is the reaction to convert aldose into other aldose with one carbon less. It is a chain contraction reaction of aldoses. The oxime of aldose is formed by reacting it with hydroxylamine and sodium methoxide. Then oxime will react with acetic anhydride in acetic acid and sodium acetate toform nitrile derivative. In the last step, the reaction with sodium methoxide in methanol results in removal of all acetate group and nitrile group toform aldose with one carbon lesser and sodium cyanide as by product.

- I'm having trouble with converting lewis diagrams into VSEPR diagrams. I currently have this example of C2BrCl3 which I want to turn into a lewis structure, but I'm not sure what steps I need to do in order to do so. I have the table written down, however, there's two central atoms so what would I do? There seems to be 4 electron domains on the carbon atom and no lone pairs so it would seem like this shape would be tetrahedral. Here's what I have now. Thanks!arrow_forwardWe discussed the solid phase resin using in peptide synthesis. Provide a mechanism, for its formation. DRAW THE MECHANISM.arrow_forwardPlease help. Every time I've asked an expert in the past, it's been wrong :(arrow_forward
