(b)
Interpretation:
Given oxidation process should be draw and identified from the starting molecule of aliphatic aldehyde.
Concept Introduction:
Oxidation: Generally alcohols can be oxidized to aldehyde or ketone and aldehyde can be further oxidized to carboxylic acid. In aldehyde oxidation the hydrogen bonded to the carbonyl carbon is replaced by an hydroxyl group. Moreover ketones do not have this hydrogen, do not react cleanly with oxidizing agents.
Aldehydes

Interpretation:
The target molecule oxidation process should be draw and identified from the starting molecule of aliphatic aldehyde.

- (a) Label all the O atoms that are part of a glycoside in rebaudioside A. Rebaudioside A, marketed under the trade name Truvia, is a sweet glycoside obtained from the stevia plant, which has been used for centuries in Paraguay to sweeten foods.
