Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The distinguishing test for the given compounds is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
▸ The pyranoses are six-membered monosaccharide ring structures. The name signifies heterocycle
▸ Pyranoses are the hemiacetals having ring structures of the
▸ Benedict’s test is a typical chemical method used to oxidize aldoses and ketoses. This particular test can be used as a colorimetric analysis tool and a positive or negative test can help in the distinction of different types of carbohydrates. Tollen’s reagent, which is composed of silver nitrate and ammonia can also selectively oxidize

- The cyclic hemiacetal is more stable than the open-chain form, so very little of the open-chain form is present atequilibrium. Will an aqueous solution of glucose reduce Tollens reagent and give a positive Tollens test? Explain.arrow_forward19 & 20. 19. 20. Consider the following synthetic estrogen shown below O= H Im Compound X The maximum number of stereoisomers in X is Illllllll CH3 a OH CH3 Draw compound X below and prioritize the groups present in the stereocenter labeled as a.arrow_forwardCholic acid, a major constituent of bile, has the structure shown.(a) Draw the structure of cholic acid, showing the rings in their chairconformations, and label each methyl group and hydroxy group asaxial or equatorial. (Making a model may be helpful.)(b) Cholic acid is secreted in bile as an amide linked to the aminogroup of glycine. This cholic acid–amino acid combination acts asan emulsifying agent to disperse lipids in the intestines for easierdigestion. Draw the structure of the cholic acid–glycine combination,and explain why it is a good emulsifying agent.arrow_forward
- When the gum of the shrub Sterculia setigera is subjected to acidic hydrolysis, one of the water-soluble components of thehydrolysate is found to be tagatose. The following information is known about tagatose:(1) Molecular formula C6H12O6(2) Undergoes mutarotation.(3) Does not react with bromine water.(4) Reduces Tollens reagent to give d-galactonic acid and d-talonic acid.(5) Methylation of tagatose (using excess CH3 I and Ag2O) followed by acidic hydrolysis gives1,3,4,5-tetra-O-methyltagatose.(a) Draw a Fischer projection structure for the open-chain form of tagatose.(b) Draw the most stable conformation of the most stable cyclic hemiacetal form of tagatosearrow_forward22.47 Tertiary amines with three different alkyl groups are chiral but cannot be resolved because pyramidal inversion causes racemization at room temperature. Nevertheless, chiral aziridines can be resolved and stored at room temperature. Aziridine is a three-membered heterocycle containing a nitrogen atom. The following is an example of a chiral aziridine. In this compound, the nitrogen atom is a chiral center. Suggest a reason why chiral aziridines do not undergo racemization at room temperature.arrow_forward21.41 Identify a systematic (IUPAC) name for each of the following compounds: (a) OH (b) NH2 (c) CIarrow_forward
- Quinapril (trade name Accupril) is used to treat high blood pressure andcongestive heart failure. One step in the synthesis of quinapril involvesreaction of the racemic alkyl bromide A with a single enantiomer of theamino ester B. Given the structure of quinapril, which one of these two products isneeded to synthesize the drug?arrow_forwardA key step in the synthesis of the narcotic analgesic meperidine (trade name Demerol) is the conversion of phenylacetonitrile to X. (a) What is the structure of X? (b) What reactions convert X to meperidine?arrow_forwardIdentify the hemiacetal function in lactose and show mechanistically how the stereochemistry at that carbon can easily invert, especially in the presence of acids and bases.arrow_forward
- Synthesize octadecyl stearate using linoleic acid (18:2) (Given, stearic acid: 18:0) as the only starting material.arrow_forwardA chiral amine A having the R conguration undergoes Hofmann elimination to form an alkene B as the major product. B is oxidatively cleaved with ozone, followed by CH3SCH3, to form CH2 = O and CH3CH2CH2CHO. What are the structures of A and B?arrow_forward19.62 Naltrexone is used to help recovering narcotic addicts stay drug free. HO O OH naltrexone LO1,6,7 (a) Label and name all the functional groups. Where relevant, indicate whether the group is primary, secondary or tertiary. (b) Upon addition of dilute hydrochloric acid solution, naltrexone forms a water-soluble salt.
