Amygdalin is a toxic component in the pits of bitter almonds, peaches, and apricots.
Q.) Name the two monosaccharide units in amygdalin and describe the glycosidic bond by which they are joined.
d-(-)-Erythrose has the formula HOCH2¬CH(OH)¬CH(OH)¬CHO, and the d in its name implies that it can be degraded to d-(+)-glyceraldehyde. The (-) in its name implies that d-(-)-erythrose is optically active (levorotatory). When d-(-)-erythrose is reduced (using H2 and a nickel catalyst), it gives an optically inactive product of formula HOCH2¬CH(OH)¬CH(OH)¬CH2OH. Knowing the absolute configuration of d-(+)-glyceraldehyde (Section 5-14), determine the absolute configuration of d-(-)-erythrose.
