Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A mechanism for the interconversion of glucose and mannose when treated with dilute aqueous NaOH is to be proposed.

Concept introduction:

The steps involved in the interconversion of glucose and mannose when treated with dilute aqueous NaOH are i) Removal of a proton from the carbon α-to the carbonyl group to form an enolate anion ii) Reprotonation of the enolate anion.

To show:

A mechanism for the interconversion of glucose and mannose when treated with dilute aqueous NaOH.
