Chapter 14.2, Problem 14.7P

a.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Chiral centers in the given monosaccharide has to be labelled, the monosaccharide has to be classified as D or L and also the enantiomer of the given monosaccharide has to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

A carbon atom that is bonded to four different groups is known as a chiral carbon atom.  This can rotate the plane polarized light.  D- and L- isomers of monosaccharide can be identified by looking into the chiral center that is farther from the carbonyl group.  In a Fischer projection, if the OH group is present on the right side in the chiral center that is farthest from the carbonyl group means it is a D monosaccharide and if the OH group is present on the left side means it is a L monosaccharide.

Enantiomers are two stereoisomers of a compound that rotate the plane polarized light exactly opposite.  The configuration present in the enantiomers will be exactly opposite to each other.

b.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Chiral centers in the given monosaccharide has to be labelled, the monosaccharide has to be classified as D or L and also the enantiomer of the given monosaccharide has to be drawn.
