Chapter 25, Problem 25.31P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

When methyl-β-D-glucopyranoside is treated with benzaldehyde, it forms a six membered cyclic acetal.  The stable conformation of this acetal has to be drawn and the new chiral centre has to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

The benzaldehyde molecule is used as a protecting agent for some reactions.  In methyl-β-D-glucopyranoside the benzaldehyde acts as protecting group for C4 and C6 –OH groups by forming the cyclic acetal.

Draw the organic products formed when each compound is treated with H2, Pd-C. Indicate the three-dimensional structure of all stereoisomers formed.
Aldehydes and ketones react with thiols to yield thioacetals, just as they react with alcohols to yield acetals. Draw the structure of the third intermediate in this reaction. H* catalyst .SCH3 + 2 CH3SH SCH3
Draw reaction of an aldehyde or a ketone with a thiol forms a thioacetal, and desulfurization of a thioacetal forms an alkane.
