The tea leaves that contain the caffeine to be isolated are predominantly composed of cellulose, a natural and extremely abundant polymer of glucose. Look up the chair structure of B-D-glucose (B-D-glucopyranose, the monomer from which the cellulose polymer is composed). Draw this structure, draw the flipped chair, and indicate which conformer you think is more stable, if either. BRIEFLY explain your choice.

Q14 Which statement among the following is incorrect concerning the oxidation or reduction of organic molecules? -Oxidation of alcohols is usually done under acidic or basic conditions to facilitate electron transfer. b- PCC will not oxidize an aldehyde to a carboxylic acid. -All alcohols can be oxidized to form one of an aldehyde, ketone, or carboxylic acid. Reaction of a ketone with a Grignard reagent in ether, followed by dilute acid work-up, produces a tertiary alcohol.

Question #33
Alkenes can be converted to alcohols by reaction with mercuric acetate to form a β-hydroxyalkylmercury(II) acetate compound, a reaction called oxymercuration. Subsequent reduction with NaBH4 reduces the C–Hg bond to a C–H bond, forming the alkyl alcohol, a reaction called demercuration. Draw the structures of the Hg-containing compound(s) and the final alcohol product(s) formed in the following reaction sequence, omitting byproducts. If applicable, draw hydrogen at a chirality center and indicate stereochemistry via wedge-and-dash bonds.
