The last two problems and definitions are due in discussion the following week (3/7-3/11). Use chapter 25 of the McMurry text to learn this as you go but some terms may require a quick google search. Define the terms on the next page as you go along. 1. Draw one example of each of the following types of monosaccharides (there may be several correct answers) and indicate the number of possible stereoisomers while keeping the same D/L configuration. a.

The C4 epimer of D-Glucose 3. Each monosaccharide from #1-2 can act as a nucleophile or electrophile. Redraw sugars #1d and #1e and indicate the functional groups that could act as nucleophiles and those that can serve as electrophiles. 4. Draw a skeleton Haworth projection and chair conformation of a D- monosaccharide in closed form: a 6-membered oxygen-containing ring without the hydroxyl groups. 5. Draw Haworth projections for the following (consult Fig 25.3 of McMurry; memorize the structure of D-Glucose for the final exam).

  • Structures of Monosaccharides Hemiacetals
    Structures of Monosaccharides Hemiacetals • Although, the open chain structures of monosaccharides are consistent with the chemistry of carbohydrates, in reality they are oversimplifications of the true structure of carbohydrates. • It is common knowledge that aldehydes react with alcohols to form hemiacetals. In cases where a molecule is a hydroxyaldehyde such as 4- hydroxybutanal or 5-hydroxypentanal, cyclic hemiacetals result. 9:47 AM 1 Structures of Monosaccharides Hemiacetals • Aldoses often contain an aldehyde group and several hydroxyl groups as part of the same molecule; they have a greater tendency of forming cyclic hemiacetals. In fact, in aqueous solution carbohydrates exist almost exclusively in the ring-closed form At equilibrium, the linear aldehyde or ketone structure represents less than 1% of the sugar present. • Five and six-membered rings are thermodynamically more stable than their corresponding four and seven membered rings, since they are less strained. • Five- (furanoses) and six-membered cyclic hemiacetals (pyranoses) are often more stable than their open-chain forms. In particular the six-membered rings which can adopt a chair conformation are 9:47 AM 2 essentially free from all types of strains. Structures of Monosaccharides Evidence for Existence of Monosacharides as Hemiacetals What physical, chemical and spectroscopic evidence support the existence of monosaccharide sugars as cyclic hemi-acetals. (a) Two anomers of glucose capable of existing independently with different physical (melting points and specific optical rotation) and chemical properties can be obtained by recrystallization. (b) the 1H-NMR and IR-spectra of solutions of pure sugars show the presence of mixtures (anomeric hemiacetals) and absence of an aldehydic peak is a sufficient indicator that the sugars exist in some other form other than the open-chain form.

Example; Glucose has the molecular formula C6H12O6, which might be written as C6(H2O)6. o Carbohydrates are polyhydroxyaldehydes, polyhydroxyketones, or substances that give such compounds on hydrolysis. o The chemistry of carbohydrates is mainly the combined chemistry of two functional groups: the hydroxyl group and the carbonyl group. o Carbohydrates are usually classified according to their structure as monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, or polysaccharides. o The term saccharide comes from Latin (saccharum, sugar) and refers to the sweet taste of some simple carbohydrates. o The three classes of carbohydrates are related to each other through hydrolysis. o Monosaccharides (or simple sugars, as they are sometimes called) are carbohydrates that cannot be hydrolyzed to simpler compounds. o Polysaccharides contain many monosaccharide units—sometimes hundreds or even thousands. Usually, but not always, the units are identical. Example; starch and cellulose, contain linked units of the same monosaccharide, glucose. o Oligosaccharides (from the Greek oligos, few) contain at least two and generally no more than a few linked monosaccharide units. They may be called disaccharides, trisaccharides, and so on, depending on the number of units, which may be the same or different. Example; Maltose is a disaccharide made of two glucose units. Sucrose is made of two different monosaccharide units: glucose and fructose. 2 12/3/2017 Chirality in Monosaccharides; Fischer Projection Formulas and D,L-Sugars o He used a small capital d to represent the configuration of (+)-glyceraldehyde, with the hydroxylgroupontheright; its enantiomer, with the hydroxyl group on the left, was designated L-(2)-glyceraldehyde.

Know the difference between galactosemia and lactose intolerance. 18.1 Biochemistry--An Overview Biochemistry is the study of the chemical substances found in living organisms and the chemical interactions of these substances with each other. It deals with the structure and function of cellular components, such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules. There are two types of biochemical substances: bioinorganic substances and Inorganic substances: water and inorganic salts. Bioorganic substances: Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, and Nucleic Acids. Complex bioorganic/inorganic Molecules: Enzymes, Vitamins, DNA, RNA, and Hemoglobin etc. As isolated compounds, bioinorganic/bioorganic/complex substances have no life in and of themselves. Yet when these substances are gathered together in a cell, their chemical interactions are able to sustain life. Plant Materials It is estimated that more than half of all organic carbon atoms are found in the carbohydrate materials of plants.

  • Welcome to Part 2 in Our Carbohydrate Series. in This Section, We Will Cover
    Welcome to part 2in our carbohydrate series. In this section, we will cover monosaccharide cyclization. 1 Monosaccharides that are 5 or 6 carbons in length have the right bond angles to spontaneously form either a furan or pyran ring structure. Note that one of the hydroxyl oxygens is included as a member of the ring structure. 2 This slide shows the cyclization of glucose. For this ring cyclization, the oxygen on carbon‐5 attacks carbon‐1 that contains the aldehyde functional group. As the covalent bond between the oxygen of C‐5 forms with C‐1, the double bond of the aldehyde breaks and forms a new bond with a proton that is free floating in the environment of the cell or solution. In the closed cyclic form, this forms a new hydroxyl group and adds in a new stererocenter in the sugar. 3 When converting a Fischer projection into the cyclic ring structure, it is important to keep track of carbon numbers. This will help you correctly place the hydroxyl groups in the correct conformation. Note that in the Fischer projection that the hydroxyls on the right hand side are in the down conformation in the cyclic Haworth projection. Hydroxyls on the left of the Fischer projection are in the up conformation on the ring structure. In this ring closure, the new hydroxyl formed at C‐1 is in the down position (although it could have also closed in the up conformation). This is the new stereocenter that is formed during cyclization. The remaining stereocenters should remain the same as in the Fischer projection.
