Give the (Hawarth projection) cyclic
structureof D-Fructose?
a. identify if it is cyclic structure
ofD-Fructose
b. number of carbons in the ring
c. Draw the straight chain fisher projection of this molecule
d. classify this sugar as reducing agent or non-reducing. Write
anequation for its reaction with tollens reagent
e. classify this sugar based on the number of carbons and thenature
of the anomeric carbon.

Respuesta :

Answer:

a) The cyclic structure of D-fructose is drawn in the attachment

b)The carbons in the ring are 4

c) The diagram is shown in the attachment

d)This can be classified as a reducing agent. This is because it contains aldehyde that are oxidized to carboxylic acid.

e) The D-fructose sugar has anomeric carbon which is an aldehyde or hemiacetal. In fructose, both anomeric carbons are in acetal functional groups
