Chapter 16, Problem 45P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The type of carbonyl group in erythrulose should be identified.

Concept introduction:

Aldehydes & ketones are 2 of the major functional groups in organic compounds.

An aldehyde has an oxygen atom double bonded to carbon and a hydrogen atom bonded to the same carbon.

A ketone has oxygen atom double bonded to the C and there are no H atoms bonded to it.

In both aldehydes and ketones this carbon is known as carbonyl carbon.

General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry - 4th edition, Chapter 16, Problem 45P

R − Other atoms or atomic groups connected to the compound apart from the carbonyl group.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The 3 hydroxyl groups should be classified as primary (1 °),  secondary (2 °) and tertiary (3 °) hydroxyls.

Concept introduction:

Depending on the number of hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon atom with hydroxyl group (-OH), they can be classified as primary (1 °),  secondary (2 °) and tertiary (3 °) hydroxyls.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

Out of the 2 functional groups in erythrulose, which functional group is reacting with Tollens reagent should be considered.

Concept introduction:

Tollens reagent is amixture of a silver nitrate solution, ammonia and some sodium hydroxide. NaOH is added to maintain the pH in a basic level as the Tollensreaction only happens in a basic medium.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

Out of the 2 functional groups in erythrulose, which functional group is reacting with K2Cr2O7 should be considered.

Concept introduction:

K2Cr2O7 is an oxidizing agent. It has the ability to oxidize some functional groups of an organic compound.
