D-Xylose in aqueous solution exists in the pyranose form as a mixture of α and β anomers. Furanose and acyclic forms are present in negligible amounts and can be ignored.   A sample of pure α-D-xylopyranose is dissolved in pure neutral water. The optical rotation is then measured immediately using a polarimeter. The specific rotation [??]?? is +93.6°.   The optical rotation is then observed to decrease with the passage of time, and the solution is allowed to reach equilibrium. Eventually the specific rotation stabilises at [??]?? = +18.8°. The anomeric ratio at equilibrium a : β is 37 : 63. A sample of pure β-D-xylopyranose is not available. Using this information, predict the specific rotation of pure β-D-xylopyranose. Show how the a and β anomers equilibrate using a mechanism, assuming the presence of a trace amount of base as catalyst.
Ribose, a carbohydrate with the formula shown, forms a cyclic hemiacetal, which, in principle, could contain either a four-membered, five-membered, or six-membered ring. To determine which ring is formed, ribose is treated with methanol in the presence of an acid catalyst. The products are then isolated and treated with NaIO, then with H₂O*.

Like glucose, galactose mutarotates when it dissolves in water. The specific rotation ofa-d-galactopyranose is +150.7°, and that of the b anomer is +52.8°. When either ofthe pure anomers dissolves in water, the specific rotation gradually changes to +80.2°.Determine the percentages of the two anomers present at equilibrium.
