Chapter 5, Problem 5.33P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The value of [α] for the given solution is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The enantiomeric excess (ee) is also known as the optical purity. It is calculated by the formula,

ee=[α]mixture[α]pureenantiomer×100%

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: The amount of dextrorotatory isomer and levorotatory isomer in solution are to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The enantiomeric excess (ee) is also known as the optical purity. It is calculated by the formula,

ee=[α]mixture[α]pureenantiomer×100%

The value of ee is helpful in calculating the amount of each enantiomer present.

Part 1,2 and 3 Question: The carbohydrate J forms a six-member Ed cyclic hemiacetal K that predominates at equilibrium in aqueous solution.
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
