The example of a silyl–Hilbert–Johnson nucleosidation reaction in Section 25.3 is presumed to involve an intermediate ribosyl cation that is stabilized by intramolecular interactions involving the C2 benzoyl group. This intermediate blocks attack by the heterocyclic base from the

- 5-Bromouracil (BU) resembles thymine sufficiently that BU base-pairs readily with adenine in a DNA helix, and it can readily substitute for thy- mine in DNA replication. However, its electron distribution allows it to resemble cytosine sufficiently that BU can pair with guanine. Show how a few rounds of replication in the presence of BU could convert an A-T base pair to G-C, and identify the products of each round of replication.arrow_forwardPlease give the resulting product of the reaction between ribose sugar and the fluorinated pyrimidine (denoted by a starred reactive nitrogen). What type of starting sugar is this ? α (Alpha) or β (beta)arrow_forwardResearchers analysed a glycopeptide (a peptide carrying one or several oligosaccharide groups) and determined both the sequence of the peptide and the sequence of the sugar molecule. The latter was identified as a diholoside coupled to the peptide by an osidic bond. The systematic name of this sugar is: B-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-ß-D-galactopyranose. : Represent the chemical formula of this diholoside in a way that all oses are Question 1 represented according to the Haworth convention. Apart from the furane and/or pyrane cycles all atoms of this molecule must be given.arrow_forward
- Chorismate mutase is an enzyme that promotes a pericyclic reaction by forcing the substrate to assume the conformation needed for the reaction. The product of the pericyclic reaction is prephenate that is subsequently converted into the amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine. What kind of a pericyclic reaction does chorismate mutase catalyze?arrow_forwardDraw a diagram of the linear and ring structures of ribose. Show the biochemical mechanism of cyclization of each and name the resultant ring – including the ring type & anomeric carbon designation. Draw and name an amine version, reduced version, and oxidized version, either in ring or Fisher projection.arrow_forwardWhat does the "alpha" indicate in "α-D-ribofuranose"? It is the first anomeric form. The sugar is "right-handed." It is the dominant form of the possible forms of D-ribofuranose. The position of the C1 -OH group relative to the plane of the ring. None of these.arrow_forward
- An important technique for establishing relative configurations among isomeric aldoses and ketoses is to convert both terminal carbon atoms to the same functional group. This can be done either by selective oxidation or reduction. As a specific example, nitric acid oxidation of d-erythrose gives meso-tartaric acid . Similar oxidation of d-threose gives (2S,3S)-tartaric acid. Given this information and the fact that d-erythrose and d-threose are diastereomers, draw Fischer projections for d-erythrose and d-threose. Check your answers against Table 25.1.arrow_forwardShow the steps and products of the Haworth Projection structure of the following saccharides. The males have to work on the naturally occurring form of D-ribose and the females are the structure of D-mannose. Expanded structure of the given molecule Fischer Projection HAWORTH PROJECTIONarrow_forwardWhat is the product (from the image below) of the starting material D-glyceraldehyde which will (1) produce aldaric acid upon reacting with HNO3 + H2O, NaOCH2, NH2OH, and (CH3CO)2O + NaOCOCH3 (2) produce tartaric acid upon reacting with HNO3 + H2O, NaOCH3, NH2OH, and (CH3CO)2O + NaOCOCH3arrow_forward
- If lactose is first hydrolyzed (by addition of sulfuric acid) into its constituent monosaccharide, and then subjected to complete methylation, what methylated products do you expect?arrow_forwardComplete the tablearrow_forwardWhen the pentaacetate anomer obtained in this reaction is heated with ZnCl2 and acetic anhydride, it is converted into the other anomer.
