Determine the final product, when L-glucose reacts with H2 gas in presence of Ni.
Determine the final product, when L-glucose reacts with NaBH4.
Identify the sugar described: An aldohexose that is not D-altrose but forms D-altritol when reduced with NaBH4.
Determine the sugar described: This ketose forms D-galactitol and D-talitol when reduced with NaBH4.
The reduction of D-arabinose, an optically active monosaccharide, with NaBH4, produces another optically active product, D-arabinitol. Meanwhile, the reduction of optically active D-xylose produces an optically inactive product. Why is the optical activity lost?
A monosaccharide produces two alditols when it undergoes reduction. One of the alditols is identical to the alditol obtained from the reduction of D-altrose. Identify the monosaccharide.
