Chapter 25.6, Problem 19P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

D-Allose and D-glucose are stereoisomers. In the open chain form, hexose sugars have four chiral centres. Glucose and allose differ in the stereochemistry only at carbon three and are hence called C3 epimers.

Concept introduction:

When D-glucose is treated with nitric acid, oxidation of D-glucose takes place. The aldehyde and alcohol group of glucose are oxidized to carboxylic acids forming D-glucaric acid and similarly Allose oxidised to D-Allose acid on treatment with dilute nitric acid.

Raffinose is a trisaccharide (C18H32O16) isolated from cottonseed meal. Raffinose doesnot reduce Tollens reagent, and it does not mutarotate. Complete hydrolysis of raffinosegives d-glucose, d-fructose, and d-galactose. When raffinose is treated with invertase,the products are d-fructose and a reducing disaccharide called melibiose. Raffinose isunaffected by treatment with a b@galactosidase, but an a@galactosidase hydrolyzes itto d-galactose and sucrose. When raffinose is treated with dimethyl sulfate and basefollowed by hydrolysis, the products are 2,3,4-tri-O-methylglucose, 1,3,4,6-tetraO-methylfructose, and 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methylgalactose. Determine the completestructures of raffinose and melibiose, and give a systematic name for melibiose.
