Chapter 16, Problem 35P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mechanism that accounts for the incorporation of the deuterium atoms into D-fructose is to be shown.

Concept Introduction:

Fructose exists as either a free sugar or in polysaccharide forms. The minor tautomers of fructose are α-D-fructopyranose and linear keto form of fructose.

Tautomers are the isomers which makes the difference in the position of protons.

When d-fructose is dissolved in D2O and the solution is made basic, the d-fructose recovered from the solution has an average of 1.7 deuterium atomsattached to the C-1 carbon per molecule. Show the mechanism that accounts for the incorporation of these deuterium atoms into d-fructose.
Draw the mechanism for the formation of b-lactose from α-d-galactose and β-d-glucose in dilute HCl.
An important technique for establishing relative configurations among isomeric aldoses and ketoses is to convert both terminal carbon atoms to the same functional group. This can be done either by selective oxidation or reduction. As a specific example, nitric acid oxidation of d-erythrose gives meso-tartaric acid . Similar oxidation of d-threose gives (2S,3S)-tartaric acid. Given this information and the fact that d-erythrose and d-threose are diastereomers, draw Fischer projections for d-erythrose and d-threose. Check your answers against Table 25.1.
