It is D sugar the molecule is a retrose. Elclose or eldotetrose, is 4-carbon elclose.

Explanation of Solution

Concept strategy: The Fischer projection of the given monosaccharide is drawn vertically, by rotating the molecule anticlockwise 90° so that the carbonyl aldehyde -CHO group is vertically at the top and the CH2OH group is at the bottom. [The red balls represent oxygen atoms, the black balls represent carbon atoms, and each smell white ball represents hydrogen]. The intention –H and –OH are drawn to the sides, pointing art of the page towards the review. Thus the given model becomes

Review from front side C-3-OH is to the right By convention the molecule has the C-3 hyduxyl at the right. So it is D sugar the molecule is a retrose. Elclose or eldotetrose, is 4-carbon elclose.

Conclusion

Based on the Fischer projection formula for the given sugars it is a B-D-glucopyranose monosaccharide.

Answer to Problem 26VC

The given model is the cyclic structures of an aldohexose in six membered pyranose form.

Strategy: We redraw the model as

Organic Chemistry, Chapter 25.SE, Problem 26VC , additional homework tip  3

Explanation of Solution

By convention, the terminal -CH2OH group is on the top of the chair Pyranose structure. Thus it is a D sugar. The molecule is an aldohexose is B-D-glucopyranose, all the –OH groups are equatorial (and more stable due to minimum repulsion) conformation.

Conclusion

Based on the Fischer projection formula for the given sugars it is a B-D-glucopyranose monosaccharide.

Trehalose, C12H22O11, is a nonreducing sugar that is only 45% as sweet as sugar. When hydrolyzed by aqueous acid or the enzyme maltase, it forms only d-glucose. When it is treated with excess methyl iodide in the presence of Ag2O and then hydrolyzed with water under acidic conditions, only 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-d-glucose is formed. Draw the structure of trehalose
3 Trehalose is a disaccharide that can be obtained from fungi, sea urchins and insects. Acid hydrolysis of trehalose yields only D-glucose. Trehalose is hydrolysed by a-glucosidase and not by B- glucosidase enzymes. Methylation of trehalose followed by hydrolysis yields two molar equivalents of 2,34,6-tetra-0-methyl-D-glucopyranose. (a) From the following experimental data, deduce the structure of trehalose. (b) What will be the effect of trehalose on Fehling's solution?
