D-galactose is another sugar that primarily exists as a hemiacetal in solution without an aldehyde group present. How do mild oxidizing agents manage to react with galactose?
The oxidation of D-mannose using Tollens' reagent can convert its aldehyde functional group into a carboxylic acid. Propose the plausible structure of mannuronic acid.
Which of the following illustrates the Fischer projection of the product formed when D-mannose is oxidized at the C1 position?
