Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of D-altrose is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Ruff degradation is a method which is used to shorten sugar chain. It is a two step process which starts with a bromine-water oxidation of the aldose to its aldonic acid. Then in the second step treatment of aldonic acid with hydrogen peroxide and ferric sulfate oxidizes the carbonyl group to CO2 and give aldose with one fewer carbon atom.

It is used primarily for the determination of structure and synthesis of new sugar.

d-Altrose is an aldohexose. Ruff degradation of d-altrose gives the same aldopentose asdoes degradation of d-allose, the C3 epimer of glucose. Give the structure of d-altrose
A D-aldohexose A is formed from an aldopentose B by the Kiliani-Fischer synthesis. Reduction of A with NABH4 forms an optically inactive alditol. Oxidation of B forms an optically active aldaric acid. What are the structures of A and B?
Which D-aldopentoses are reduced to optically inactive alditols using NaBH4, CH3OH?
