(b)
Interpretation:
The cyclic form of monosaccharide given should be converted to an acyclic monosaccharide.
Concept Introduction:
When an aldehyde or a ketone is reacted with one equivalent of alcohol, a hemiacetal is formed. The aldoses and ketoses contains both hydroxyl groups and aldehyde or ketone functional group. Therefore, aldoses and ketoses undergo intramolecular cyclization to form stable cyclic hemiacetals. The O atom on the chirality center farthest from the carbonyl is involved in the cyclization.
