Concept introduction:
Reduction of monosaccharides with sodium borohydride reduces the
Oxidation of monosaccharides with bromine oxidizes the aldehyde group to
Oxidation of monosaccharides with nitric acid oxidizes the aldehyde group as well as the terminal
Carbohydrates undergo enolization in the open-chain form. The aldehyde oxygen is protonated by the hydrogen from C2, converting it to hydroxyl group and forming a double bond between C1 and C2.
Carbohydrates that differ in configuration only at C2 give the same enediol.
A molecule with more than one chirality center can be optically inactive if it has a plane of symmetry of a center of symmetry.

- One of the key components in fatty acid synthesis is acetoacetyl‑ACP, which is formed from a Claisen condensation of a fatty acid thioester (acetyl synthase, simplified here) with the enolate formed from the decarboxylation of malonyl ACP. The given steps show the first round of this elongation. Draw a curved arrow mechanism to show how these reactions give acetoacetyl‑ACP.arrow_forwardThe following isomerization reaction, drawn using D-glucose as starting material, occurs with all aldohexoses in the presence of base.

- A generic ester is shown. What happens in a transesterification reaction? R —С—0—R In a transesterification, reaction with ROH replaces the OR, group with the OR. reaction with ROH replaces the R, group with the OR. reaction with ROH replaces both the R, group and the OR, group with the OR. reaction with ROH replaces the carbonyl group with the OR,arrow_forwardThe 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 explanationarrow_forwardDraw the following sugar derivatives. ) 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-d-mannopyranose(arrow_forward

When she used an enzyme and NADPH to reduce the following ketone, she was surprised to find that the product was optically active. She carefully repurified the product so that no enzyme, NADPH, or other contaminants were present. Still, the product was optically active. Is the product capable of showing optical activity? If it is, explain how.arrow_forward
