Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The names and structures of the aldohexoses based on the results of the products obtained through the reaction of these aldohexoses with phenyl hydrazine and hydrogen (in presence of catalyst) are to be given.
Concept introduction:

舧
Compounds formed by the reaction of reducing sugars with excess of phenyl hydrazine are called osazones. Osazones are products of oxidation and are produced by all reducing sugars.

- d-Glucuronic acid is found widely in plants and animals. One of its functions is to detoxify poisonous HO-containing compounds by reacting with them inthe liver to form glucuronides. Glucuronides are water soluble and, therefore, readily excreted. After ingestion of a poison such as turpentine or phenol, theglucuronides of these compounds are found in urine. Draw the structure of the glucuronide formed by the reaction of β-d-glucuronic acid and phenol.arrow_forwarda. Draw a three-dimensional structure for the following steroid. b.

In the body, however, some of the R enantiomer is converted to the S isomer by tautomerization to an enol and then protonation to regenerate the carbonyl compound.

They are responsible for producing fever and inflammation and its associated pain. Prostaglandins are derived from the 20- carbon fatty acid arachidonic acid in a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase. This enzyme, a cyclooxygenase, uses oxygen to convert arachidonic acid to PGG2, the immediate precursor of many different prostaglandins. Rate of formation of PGG2 with 10 mg/ml ibuprofen (mM/min) Arachidonic acid (mM) Rate of formation of PGG2 (mM/min) 0.190 12.3 0.228 13.9 0.342 17.5 0.570 1.33 22.2 28.8 7.71 8.88 11.9 16.3 24.0 The kinetic data given in the table are for the reaction catalyzed by a mutant of prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase. Focusing here on the first two columns, determine the Vmax and Km of the enzyme. Vmax Km = mM/min mMarrow_forward
- The most stable conformation of most aldopyranoses is one in which the largest group, the CH2OH group, is equatorial. However, alpha-D-idopyranose exists primarily in a conformation with an axial CH2OH group. Write formulas for the two chair conformations of a-D-idopyranose (one with the CH2OH group axial and one with the CH2OH group equatorial) and provide an explanationarrow_forwardBetamethasone is a synthetic anti-inammatory steroid used as a topical cream for itching. Betamethasone is derived from cortisol, with the following structural additions: a C=C between C1 and C2, a uorine at C9, and a methyl group at C16. The configuration at C9 is R, and the configuration at C16 is S. Draw the structure of betamethasone.arrow_forward3 Two equilibrium reactions are given: In the first, acetaldehyde forms with methanol hemiacetal. In the second, D‐glucose forms the hemiacetal form. Formulate them both equilibria. While in the first case the thermodyn. balance on the acetaldehyde side, the hemiacetal form clearly dominates in the second case. Give reasons for these differences and explain.arrow_forward
