16. A chemist isolated a ketopentose with the molecular formula C5H10O5 from the cell walls of a plant. When he treated this material with NaBH4 in aqueous methanol, the resulting product was optically active. Was the compound a member of the D family of sugars or the L family? Enter the letter D or L. D or L was acceptable.
17. If is alpha-(D)-glucopyranose, then is named....beta-(D)-galactopyranose.
18. and is named.....alpha-(L)-glucopyranose This compound is the mirror image of the one above it.
19. Draw the structure of A, the product of the follwing reaction:CC1(C)OC2C(O)OC(CO)C2O1
20. Draw the structure of B, the product of the following reaction:COCC1OC(OC)C2OC(C)(C)OC12
21. Specify the stereochemistry at each chiral center in b-(D)-glucopyranose. Enter your R/S designation for each chiral center in order, starting with C-1. RRSSR
22. Select the alkene that would undergo acid catalysed hydration fastest:
23. CC(=O)OC(c1ccccc1)c2ccccc2
Consider the dehydrobromination of 1-phenyl-2-bromobutane, then answer question 24-27.
24. If the product mixture contains 45% C, 25% D, and 30% E, how many of the following statements about this reaction are justified by the data? 2 Statements B and E are justified. The reaction is not thermodynamically controlled since compound D, which is thermodynamically the most stable is formed in lowest amount.
A. It is thermodynamically controlled.
B. It is regioselective.
C. It is both thermodynamically and kinetically controlled.
D. Compound E is more stable than compound D.
E. Tertiary hydrogens are more reactive than primary hydrogens.
25.* If the product mixture contains C and E, but no D, draw the structure of the stereoisomer of the starting material that was used in the reaction. or its mirror image: C[C@@H](Br)[C@@H](C)c1ccccc1 or C[C@H](Br)[C@H](C)c1ccccc1
26. If the product mixture were treated with aqueous acid, which compound would react the fastest? Enter the letter that corresponds to the structure you select. C Compounds C and D should both be more reative than E because protonation of C and D produces a tertiary carbocation, while protonation of E generates a secondary cation. Protonation of C and D generates the same intermediate. Since D is more stable than C, the energy difference between D and the transition state leading to the intermediate must be greater than the energy difference leading from C to the transition state. Hence, C reacts fastest.
