Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

From the cyclic structure of allose given, whether it is i) a furanose or pyranose form ii) α- or β- anomer iii) D or L sugar are to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The pyranose form is a cyclic hemiacetal form with a six membered ring formed by the nucleophilic addition of the –OH group on C5 to the C1 carbonyl group. The furanose form is a cyclic hemiacetal form with a five membered ring formed by the nucleophilic addition of the –OH group on C5 to the C2 carbonyl group.

The orientation of –OH group differs in α- and β- anomers. In α- anomer the OH on C1 is cis to the –OH at the lowest chirality center in Fischer projection, while in β- anomer the –OH on C1 is trans to the –OH at the lowest chirality center in Fischer projection.

D sugars have the –O- at C5 on the right in the uncoiled form while L sugars have -O- at C5 on the left.

To state:

From the cyclic structure of allose given, whether it is i) a furanose or pyranose form ii) α- or β- anomer iii) D or L sugar.

Xylulose has the following structural formula. To what carbohydrate class does xylulose belong based on the number of carbons and carbonyl functionality?   A) aldotetrose B) aldopentose C) ketotetrose D) ketopentose E) ketohexose
Lactose is a disaccharide in which a glycosidic linkage connects the monosaccharides galactose and glucose. OH НО OH (a) Identify the glycosidic linkage and the acetal carbon in lactose. (b) What type of glycosidic linkage does lactose have (i.e., is it 1,1'-, 1,2'-, etc., and is it a or B)? (c) People who are lactose intolerant are deficient in the enzyme lactase, and therefore cannot efficiently break down the disaccharide into its monosaccharides. When lactose is treated with aqueous acid, however, this hydrolysis can take place, though relatively slowly. Draw the complete, detailed mechanism and the products of the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of lactose. Но ОН НО ОН ОН Lactose
