(a)
Interpretation:
For the four stereo isomeric aldotetroses, the pair of enantiomers and stereo descriptors is needed to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
- Aldoses are monosaccharides, which contains
Aldehyde group. - The naming of monosaccharides,
- Prefix: aldo or keto indicates whether the monosaccharide is containing aldehyde or
ketone group. - Suffix: ose indicates the carbohydrates
- Root word: indicate the number of carbons.
- Prefix: aldo or keto indicates whether the monosaccharide is containing aldehyde or
- The stereo-descriptor used for monosaccharides is D or L. it is based on the dextrorotatory glyceraldehyde or levorotatory glyceraldehyde.
The stereo-descriptor for other carbohydrates of having more than one chiral center will be evaluated by the location of –OH group (right or left) of farthest chiral carbon from the carbonyl group. Such as,
If the –OH group is located in right side then, the carbohydrate is a D-sugar.
If the –OH group is located in left side then, the carbohydrate is a L-sugar.
- Enantiomers are non-super imposable mirror images of each other.
To determine: the structures of pair of enantiomers of stereo isomeric aldotetroses.

- Identify the missing organic reactants in the following reaction: X + Y H+ two steps Note: This chemical equation only focuses on the important organic molecules in the reaction. Additional inorganic or small-molecule reactants or products (like H2O) are not shown. In the drawing area below, draw the skeletal ("line") structures of the missing organic reactants X and Y. You may draw the structures in any arrangement that you like, so long as they aren't touching. Click and drag to start drawing a structure.
