Chapter 23: Q37P (page 1236)

Give an equation to show the reduction of Tollens reagent by maltose.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The reduction of Tollens reagent by maltose is shown below.

Step by step solution

01

A concept:

Tollens reagent, [Ag(NH3)2]OH test is a qualitative test used to distinguish between an aldehyde an ketone. This test is also known as silver mirror test in which aldehydes are readily oxidized to corresponding carboxylic acids whereas ketones are not.

Question. Retroviruses like HIV, the pathogen responsible for AIDS, incorporate an RNA template that is copied into DNA during infection. The reverse transcriptaseenzyme that copies RNA into DNA is relatively nonselective and error-prone, leading to a high mutation rate. Its lack of selectivity is exploited by the anti-HIV drug AZT (3โ€™-azido-2โ€™,3โ€™-dideoxythymidine), which becomes phosphorylated and is incorporated by reverse transcriptase into DNA, where it acts as a chain terminator. Mammalian DNA polymerases are more selective, having a low affinity for AZT, so its toxicity is relatively low.

  1. Draw the structures of AZT and natural deoxythymidine.
  2. Draw the structure of AZT 5โ€™-triphosphate, the derivative that inhibits reverse transcriptase.

Cellulose is converted to cellulose acetateby treatment with acetic anhydride and pyridine. Cellulose acetate is soluble in common organic solvents, and it is easily dissolved and spun into fibers. Show the structure of cellulose acetate.

Does lactose mutarotate? Is it a reducing sugar? Explain. Draw the two anomeric forms of lactose.

Treatment of either anomer of fructose with excess ethanol in the presence of a trace of HCI gives a mixture of the ฮฑ and ฮฒ anomers of ethyl-D-fructofuranoside. Draw the starting materials, reagents, and products for this reaction. Circle the aglycone in each product.

Raffinose is a trisaccharide (C18H32O16) isolated from cottonseed meal. Raffinose does not reduce Tollens reagent, and it does not mutarotate. Complete hydrolysis of raffinose gives D-glucose, D-fructose, and D-galactose. When raffinose is treated with invertase, the products are D-fructose and a reducing disaccharide called melibiose. Raffinose is unaffected by treatment with a-galactosidase, but an ฮฑ -galactosidase hydrolyzes it to D-galactose and sucrose. When raffinose is treated with dimethyl sulfate and base followed by hydrolysis, the products are 2,3,4-tri-O-methylglucose, 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-methylfructose, and 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methylgalactose. Determine the complete structures of raffinose and melibiose and give a systematic name for melibiose.
