Question

 Provide a reasonable arrow-pushing mechanism for Reaction 5b, and explain the the stereochemical outcome.

5d below

 

The image illustrates a chemical reaction used in the transformation of glucose into Splenda (sucralose). 

### Description of the Chemical Structure:
- The structure on the left represents a glucopyranose derivative with acetyl (Ac) groups attached. 
- "Ac" refers to the acetyl group, represented as O=C-CH3.

### Explanation of the Reaction:
- The reaction involves treating the glucopyranose derivative with excess thionyl chloride (SOCl2) and pyridine.
  
### Process:
- This process facilitates the removal of acetyl groups, effectively transforming the structure of glucose into that of sucralose, commonly known as Splenda.

The diagram promotes an understanding of how a standard glucose molecule (table sugar) can be chemically modified into a widely used artificial sweetener.
