Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

The terms D and L are used to determine the specific rotation of monosaccharides.  The letter D stands for dextrorotation and L stands for levorotation.

In D-monosaccharides, the –OH group at the penultimate carbon is located on right side of the carbon.  In L-monosaccharides, the –OH group is located on left side of the carbon.

Shown below is the mechanism presented for the formation of biasplatin in reference 1 from the Background and Experiment document. The amounts used of each reactant are shown.  Either draw or describe a better alternative to this mechanism. (Note that the first step represents two steps combined and the proton loss is not even shown; fixing these is not the desired improvement.)  (Hints: The first step is correct, the second step is not; and the amount of the anhydride is in large excess to serve a purpose.)
