Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The Fischer projection formula of L-lyxose is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Fischer projections are shorthand notations used to represent the configurations about asymmetric carbons in a molecule, particularly sugars. The molecule is drawn with the carbonyl
(b)
Interpretation:
To be drawing the Fischer projection of l-talose.
Concept introduction:
Fischer projections are shorthand notations used to represent the configurations about asymmetric carbons in a molecule, particularly sugars. The molecule is drawn with the carbonyl functional group at the top. Perpendicular intersecting lines represent a carbon atom typically a chiral center. Horizontal bonds point toward the viewer, whereas vertical bonds point away from the viewer. In Fischer projection of L form, the OH group of the highest numbered asymmetric carbon is on the left side of the projection.

- Consider only the top monosaccharide chair conformation. How would I draw the Fischer projection of the aldohexose from which this chair conformation is derived? And is the diaccharide shown reducing, non-reducing, or can that not be determined?arrow_forwardDraw the structures (using chair conformations of pyranoses) of the following disaccharides. a-d-fructofuranosyl-b-d-mannopyranoside(arrow_forwardDraw a chair conformation for the a form of a disaccharide in which two units of d-glucopyranose are joined by a b-1,3-glycosidic bond.arrow_forward
- Consider N-acetyl-d-glucosamine Q.) Draw a chair conformation for the disaccharide formed by joining two units of the pyranose form of N-acetyl-d-glucosamine by a b-1,4-glycosidic bond. If you draw this correctly, you have the structural formula for the repeating dimer of chitin, the structural polysaccharide component of the shell of lobsters and other crustaceans.arrow_forwardRegarding 4-O- (α-D-psychofuranosyl) -β-D-allopyranose. Please indicate the RIGHT alternative: (a) The disaccharide reacts with CH3OH in an acid medium to form a glycoside that cannot be oxidized with HNO3. (b) It is a reducing disaccharide only in basic medium. (c) In the structure there is only one glycosidic bond that is of the type β 1-O-4 ' (d) The hydrolysis products of this disaccharide do not show mutarrotation. (e) The disaccharide structure contains two six-membered rings.arrow_forward4) Explain the difference between an enantiomer and diastereomer.arrow_forward
- How do diastereomers and stereoisomers differ? and how can i tell whether a molecule is either one in a fischer projection?arrow_forwardTwo monosaccharide isomers with 4 chiral carbons in which the configuration of all of chiral carbon are inverted with respect to each other are called as a) Anomers b) Enantiomers c) Diasteromers d) Epimersarrow_forwardPlease don't provide handwriting solutionarrow_forward
