Concept introduction:
Reduction of monosaccharides with sodium borohydride reduces the
Oxidation of monosaccharides with bromine oxidizes the aldehyde group to
Oxidation of monosaccharides with nitric acid oxidizes the aldehyde group as well as the terminal
Carbohydrates undergo enolization in the open-chain form. The aldehyde oxygen is protonated by the hydrogen from C2, converting it to hydroxyl group and forming a double bond between C1 and C2.
Carbohydrates that differ in configuration only at C2 give the same enediol.
A molecule with more than one chirality center can be optically inactive if it has a plane of symmetry of a center of symmetry.

- 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_forwardDraw the following sugar derivatives. ) 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-d-mannopyranose(arrow_forwardDraw the products formed when α-D-gulose is treated with below reagent Ac2O, pyridinearrow_forward

E в он он Oleandrin is a toxic cardiac glycoside found in the poisonous plant, oleander (Nerium oleander L). It has a very long IUPAC name: acetic acid [(35,5R, 10S,13R,14S,16S,17'R)-14-hydroxy-3-[[(2R,4S,5S,6S)-5-hydroxy-4-methoxy-6-methyl- 2-tetrahydropyranyl]oxy]-10,13-dimethyl-17-(5-oxo-2H-furan-3-y)-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,11,12,15,16,17- tetradecahydrocyclopenta[a]phenanthren-16-yl] ester B.arrow_forwardA graduate student was studying enzymatic reductions of cyclohexanones when she encountered some interesting chemistry. When she used an enzyme and NADPH to reduce the following ketone, she was surprised to find that the product was optically active. She carefully repurified the product so that no enzyme, NADPH, or other contaminants were present. Still, the product was optically active. Is the product capable of showing optical activity? If it is, explain how.arrow_forwardDraw the product of the reaction of cyclopentane carboxylic acid with the three different reagents listed. If the product is a pair of ions, draw both ions. Reaction A is a Fischer esterification.arrow_forward
