What is the product of the starting material D-glyceraldehyde which will
(1) produce aldaric acid upon reacting with HNO3 + H2O, NaOCH2, NH2OH, and (CH3CO)2O + NaOCOCH3
(2) produce tartaric acid upon reacting with HNO3 + H2O, NaOCH3, NH2OH, and (CH3CO)2O + NaOCOCH3
. [10]-Annulene may be represented by the following isomeric
structures.
(a) Say whether any of these is aromatic or not, and explain your
answer.
(b) If [10]-annulene were to be disubstituted with methyl groups at
positions C1 & C6, which of the two structures would be preferred
and why?
(c) If C1 & C6 were linked (i) directly to each other or (ii) through a
methylene group, would you expect any aromaticity from the
resulting compounds. If not, why? And if so to what degree?
The most stable conformation of most aldopyranoses is one in which the largest group, the CH2OH group, is equatorial. However, alpha-D-idopyranose exists primarily in a conformation with an axial CH2OH group. Write formulas for the two chair conformations of a-D-idopyranose (one with the CH2OH group axial and one with the CH2OH group equatorial) and provide an explanation
