Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The aldoses formed when D-threose is subjected to the Kiliani–Fischer synthesis are to be predicted.
Concept introduction: Kiliani–Fischer synthesis is a method which is used for the elongation of the carbon chains in aldose. In this method, the aldose chain is elongated by the formation of new stereogenic centre at
(b)
Interpretation: The aldoses formed when D-ribose is subjected to the Kiliani–Fischer synthesis are to be predicted.
Concept introduction: Kiliani–Fischer synthesis is a method which is used for the elongation of the carbon chains in aldose. In this method, the aldose chain is elongated by the formation of new stereogenic centre at
(c)
Interpretation: The aldoses formed when D-galactose is subjected to the Kiliani–Fischer synthesis are to be predicted.

- A D-aldopentose A is oxidized to an optically inactive aldaric acid with HNO3. A is formed by the Kiliani–Fischer synthesis of a D-aldotetrose B, which is also oxidized to an optically inactive aldaric acid with HNO3. What are the structures of A and B?arrow_forwardWhich D-aldopentoses are reduced to optically inactive alditols using NaBH4, CH3OH?arrow_forwardAldohexoses A and B are formed from aldopentose C via a Kiliani–Fischer synthesis. Nitric acid oxidizes A to an optically active aldaric acid, B to an optically inactive aldaric acid, and C to an optically active aldaric acid. Wohl degradation of C forms D, which is oxidized by nitric acid to an optically active aldaric acid. Wohl degradation of D forms (+)-glyceraldehyde. Identify A, B, C, and D.arrow_forward
- Given the following structure of aldose, (a) how many chiral carbons are there? (b) is it a reducing sugar? and (c) is it an L or D sugar?arrow_forwardTreatment with NaBH 4 converts aldose U into an optically inactive (meso) alditol V. Ruff degradation ofU gives W, whose alditol is optically inactive. Ruff degradation of W forms D-glyceraldehyde, thesimplest aldose. Upon Kiliani-Fischer synthesis, U is converted to two aldoses, X and Y. X is oxidized toan optically active aldaric acid Z. Y is oxidized to an optically inactive aldaric acid. Draw the structuresof D-glyceraldehyde, V, W, X, Y, and Z. Structure of compound U is shown below.arrow_forwardAlthough reaction occurs in sugars also.
