Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The stepwise mechanism for the isomerization of D-glucose to form the given compounds is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: Carbohydrates are naturally occurring organic compounds. The monosaccharide glucose is called an Aldohexose as it contains six carbon atoms as well as an aldehyde functional group and fructose is known as ketohexose as it contains six carbons with a ketone functional group.

Glucose and mannose are C2 epimers that is they differ in position of hydroxyl group at second carbon atom.
