Chapter 26.2, Problem 26.2P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The molecular formulae for D-ribose and 2-deoxy-D-ribose, the difference in composition of both and chemical property that differs between the two has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Composition of nucleic acid: Nucleic acid is a polymer of nucleotides. Each nucleotide has three parts: a sugar, a nitrogenous base, and a phosphate group.

Sugar: In both DNA and RNA, sugar portion is found. In DNA, the sugar is D-ribose, where at 2’hydroxyl group is absent and in RNA, the hydroxyl group is present at 2’ carbon.

Numbering the atoms in sugar and base rings:

Fundamentals of General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry (8th Edition), Chapter 26.2, Problem 26.2P

In order to distinguish the atoms in the sugar of a nucleoside and atoms of a base ring, numbers without prime is used for atoms in the base ring and numbers with prime used for the atoms in the sugar ring.

Consider the following statements: (1) The term sugar is a general designation for both monosaccharides and disaccharides. (2) The "penultimate carbon" in a monosaccharide is used to determine D- or L-configuration. (3) Sucrose is a reducing sugar and lactose is a nonreducing sugar. O Two of the three statements are true. All three statements are true. O Only one of the statements is true. None of the statements are true.
Using the tree structures for the following monosaccharides and comparing to that for glucose, draw the structures of the following: A. tree (Fischer) structures of: D-mannose and L-mannose B. ring structures of alpha-D-mannose, beta-D-mannose, alpha-L-mannose, and beta-L-mannose Draw the ring (Haworth) structures as 6-membered pyranoses, being careful to show the positions of the hydroxyl groups above or below the plane of the ring.
For the first part, draw a Fischer projection formula for the enantiomer of each of the following monosaccharides. For the second part, identify whether the images are in D- or L-configuration. Write your answers first on a piece of bond paper.
