a) The D-aldopentose A, C5H1005, reacts with HNO3 to yield an optically active aldaric acid B. Kiliani-Fischer chain extension of A produces a pair of D-aldohexoses C and D. C is converted by HNO3 to an optically active aldaric acid, but D is converted by HNO3 to an optically inactive aldaric acid. Write acyclic Fischer projections for A, B, C, D. b) Disaccharide E is a reducing sugar. It is hydrolyzed by an α-glycosidase enzyme, which means it contains an α- glycoside link. Treatment of E with Ag2O and excess Mel gives an octamethyl derivative F. Hydrolysis of F in dilute aqueous acid gives the pair of molecules shown below. Write the structures of E and F. (If the stereochemistry at a particular carbon is not determined by the above data, indicate this with a wavy line as shown below.) HO OMe OMe MeO MeO MOH OMe mOH OMe OMe

Question
a) The D-aldopentose A, C5H1005, reacts with HNO3 to yield an optically active aldaric acid B. Kiliani-Fischer
chain extension of A produces a pair of D-aldohexoses C and D. C is converted by HNO3 to an optically active
aldaric acid, but D is converted by HNO3 to an optically inactive aldaric acid. Write acyclic Fischer projections
for A, B, C, D.
b) Disaccharide E is a reducing sugar. It is hydrolyzed by an α-glycosidase enzyme, which means it contains an α-
glycoside link. Treatment of E with Ag2O and excess Mel gives an octamethyl derivative F. Hydrolysis of F in
dilute aqueous acid gives the pair of molecules shown below. Write the structures of E and F. (If the
stereochemistry at a particular carbon is not determined by the above data, indicate this with a wavy line as
shown below.)
