The C2-epimer of D-xylose is called (blank 1). The enediol rearrangementconverts an aldose into a (blank 2). The aldopentose embedded in RNA is(blank 3). An aldopentose would have (blank 4) possible stereoisomers,of whichBlankwould be D-sugars. An ketopentose would have (blank 4) possiblestereoisomers, of which (blank 5) would be D-sugars
D-Xylose in aqueous solution exists in the pyranose form as a mixture of α and β anomers. Furanose and acyclic forms are present in negligible amounts and can be ignored.   A sample of pure α-D-xylopyranose is dissolved in pure neutral water. The optical rotation is then measured immediately using a polarimeter. The specific rotation [??]?? is +93.6°.   The optical rotation is then observed to decrease with the passage of time, and the solution is allowed to reach equilibrium. Eventually the specific rotation stabilises at [??]?? = +18.8°. The anomeric ratio at equilibrium a : β is 37 : 63. A sample of pure β-D-xylopyranose is not available. Using this information, predict the specific rotation of pure β-D-xylopyranose. Show how the a and β anomers equilibrate using a mechanism, assuming the presence of a trace amount of base as catalyst.
Like glucose, galactose mutarotates when it dissolves in water. The specific rotation ofa-d-galactopyranose is +150.7°, and that of the b anomer is +52.8°. When either ofthe pure anomers dissolves in water, the specific rotation gradually changes to +80.2°.Determine the percentages of the two anomers present at equilibrium.
