Oxidation of Aldoses with Bromine! Horace S _., JOURNAL OF RESEARCH of the National Bureau of Standa rds- A. Physics a nd Chemistry Vol. 66A, No.3, May- June 1962 Oxidation of Aldoses With Bromine! Horace S. Isbell (February 12, 1962) Rates of oxidation of aldoses with bromine have bee n reappraised and interpreted in th e light of present concepts of conformation and reaction mechanism. It is suggested that differences in t he rates of ox id ation of the a and /3 anomers are largely determined by differences in the free energy req uired by the reactants for passing from the ground state to the complex in the transition state. Structures for t he aldoses in the ground states and in the transition states are postulated, a nd factors affectin g the energy required for reaching the transition states from t he ground states are di scussed. The relative ra tes of ox idation are in accordance with the hypothesis that cach of the aldoses in the ground state has the conformation predicted by Reeves, and, in the transit ion state, has a conformation in which the oxygen atom of the C1-hydroxyl group lies in the plalle formed by t he r in g oxygen atom, C1, C2, and C5. Presumably, this conformation is stabilized by resonance in volving the oxygen atom of the ring. For a ldoses havin g high stability in one cha ir conformation, the rates of oxidat ion of the anomers d iffer widely; in each in stance, t he anomer in which the Cl-hydroxyl group is axial is ox idized more slowly t han the anomer in which this group is equatorial. For aldoses having less stabil ity in a cha ir conformation, the rates of oxidation of t he a nomers difrer lcss widely, but, nevertheless, show a defin ite corrclation with the angular posit ion of the Cl-hydroxyl group relative to the plane of t he ring. For aldoses for which the stabili ty in both chair conformations is so low that they probably exist in a variety of conformations, the rates of ox idat ion of the anomers show little difference and no particular correlation with the angular position of the Cl-hydroxyl group. The presence 0 " absence of an oxygen atom in the rin g is used to account for the large diff erences between the rates of bromin e ox idation of t he aldoses a nd those of deri vati ves of eyclohexanol. Differences in conformation in the t ra nsition statp, associated with t he presence or absence of this oxygen atom, likewi se accoun t for t he fact that t he relative rates of oxidation of t he axial and equatorial isomers in the two classes of compound a re reversed. Because of uncerta in ty as to the anomeri c configurations co mmonl.v assigned to son1(' of t Il e aldoses, the co nfigurations of 22 aldoses were reappra ised. Advantage was taken of t he principle that the anomer p reponderatin g in the equili brium solu tion has l1'ans hydroxyl groups at Cl and C2. Except for crystalli ne D-glyceTo -D-ido-heptose , the assignments of con fi guration based on this p ri nciple agree with t he configurations genera ll y accepted. Classifi ciation of cr ys talline D-glyceTo-D-ido-heptose as an a-D-pyranose necessitates co rrection of ea dier reco rds in which t hi s suga r was co nsid ered to be a /3 -D-py ranose. In accorda nce with the author's earli er formulation, oxid ation of the axial a nomer is beli eved to take place by two co urses: (1 ) di rect ox id ation and (2) conversion to the eq uatori al a nomer by the anomerizat ion reaction and the subsequent oxid ation of this ano mer. The relative importa nce of the two courses is not considered in thi paper . It is poin ted out, however, that the actual difference in t he rates for t he direct ox id ation of the two anomers must be at least as great as that observed For the overall rates of oxidation. 1.

Several investigators have /' I C3 advanced hypotheses to explain the difference in the ~ , J~ rates of oxidation for the a and {3 anomers.

Thus, th e actual difference in the rates for the direct oxida­ tion of the two anomers must be at least as great as C4 the observed difference in the overall rates.

  • Food Carbohydrates: Monosaccharides and Oligosaccharides
    Paper No. 01 Paper Title: Food Chemistry Module-04: Food carbohydrates: Monosaccharides and Oligosaccharides Monosaccharides The simplest form of carbohydrates is the monosaccharide. Monosaccharides are either aldoses or ketoses. Aldoses such as glucose consists of a carbon backbone and a carbonyl group (C=O) located at the end of the chain. Ketoses such as fructose consists of a carbon backbone with a carbonyl group located at any other carbon in the chain. The remaining carbon atoms are bound to hydroxyl groups (-OH). Monosaccharide classifications based on the number of carbons Number Category of Examples Name Carbons 4 Tetrose Erythrose, Threose 5 Pentose Arabinose, Ribose, Ribulose, Xylose, Xylulose, Lyxose Allose, Altrose, Fructose, Galactose, Glucose, Gulose, Idose, 6 Hexose Mannose, Sorbose, Talose, Tagatose 7 Heptose Sedoheptulose, Mannoheptulose Monosaccharides Three common sugars glucose, galactose and fructose share the same molecular formula: C6H12O6. Because of their six carbon atoms, each is a hexose. Although all three share the same molecular formula, the arrangement of atoms differs in each case. Substances such as these three, which have identical molecular formulas but different structural formulas, are known as structural isomers. Glucose "Blood sugar" is the immediate source of energy for cellular respiration. Glucose, which is also referred to as dextrose, is a moderately sweet sugar found in vegetables and fruit. When glucose is fermented by the enzyme zymase, in yeast, it results in the formation of carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol. It is the basic structure to which all carbohydrates are reduced to in the end, for transport via the bloodstream and use by the cells of the body.

  • Puckering Free Energy of Pyranoses: an NMR and Metadynamics--Umbrella Sampling Investigation
    Puckering Free Energy of Pyranoses: an NMR and Metadynamics–Umbrella Sampling Investigation E. Autieri, M. Sega,∗ and F. Pederiva Department of Physics and I.N.F.N., University of Trento, via Sommarive 14, 38123 Trento, Italy G. Guella Department of Physics, University of Trento, via Sommarive 14, 38123 Trento, Italy Abstract We present the results of a combined metadynamics–umbrella sampling investigation of the puckered conformers of pyranoses described using the gromos 45a4 force field. The free energy landscape of Cremer–Pople puckering coordinates has been calculated for the whole series of α and β aldohexoses, showing that the current force field parameters fail in reproducing proper puckering free energy differences between chair conformers. We suggest a modification to the gromos 45a4 parameter set which improves considerably the agreement of simulation results with theoretical and experimental estimates of puckering free energies. We also report on the experimental measurement of altrose conformers populations by means of NMR spectroscopy, which show good agreement with the predictions of current theoretical models. arXiv:1006.2515v1 [physics.chem-ph] 13 Jun 2010 1 I. INTRODUCTION Within the framework of classical force fields, the number of computer experiments on sac- charides has grown considerably in recent years, and various systems have been addressed1–27. Devising a realistic model of monosaccharides is obviously a decisive step in order for carbo- hydrates simulations to have enough predictive power. The accurate description of monosac- charides with classical force fields is not an easy task, because of the delicate interplay of different factors such as the presence of a high number of intramolecular hydrogen bonds, the competition of these hydrogen bonds with water-sugar ones and important steric and electrostatic effects between ring substituents in spatial proximity (see for example Ref.

DEPARTMENT OF CoMMERCE NATIONAL BUREAU OF STANDARDS RESEARCH PAPER RP1398 Part of Journal of Research of the :National Bureau of Standards, Volume 27, July 1941 ENZYMATIC HYDROLYSIS OF DISACCHARIDES AND HALOGENOSALICINS By William Ward Pigman ABSTRACT In agreement with the Weidenhagen theory, the enzymes of almond emulsin hydrolyze all of the disaccharides with p-glucosidic linkages which have thus far been tried. Measurements of rate of hydrolysis are reported for the first time for gentiobiose, 4-glucosidomannose, and lactositol, and comparable data are as­ sembled for other disaccharides. It is shown that very small changes in the configuration or structure of the aglucon sugar have a large influence on the rate of enzymatic hydrolysis. This influence is explained on the basis that two areas of the enzyme are involved i,I the adsorption of the disaccharides by the enzyme and that the component nonosaccharide residues are adsorbed separately on the two areas of the enzyme. Rates of enzymatic hydrolysis under the standard conditions of Helferich are reported for the p-chloro-, bromo-, and iodosalicins. It is shown that the intro­ duction of a halogen in the para position of the salicin aglucon reduces the rate of hydrolysis to less than one-third of the salicin value. While the three halogeno­ salicins do not differ greatly in their rate of hydrolysis, their relative ease of enzy­ matic splitting is iodo-> bromo->chloro-. CONTENTS Page I.

Pallana Received 17th July 2006 First published as an Advance Article on the web 3rd October 2006 DOI: 10.1039/b606807c Homo-DNA ((49A69)-linked oligo-29,39-dideoxy-b-D-glucopyranose nucleic acid) constitutes the earliest synthetic model system whose pairing properties have been studied within an etiology of nucleic acid structure. Its conception as part of a program directed at a rationalization of Nature’s selection of pentoses over other candidates as the carbohydrate building block in the genetic material was motivated by the question: why pentose and not hexose? Homo-DNA forms an autonomous pairing system and its duplexes are entropically stabilized relative to DNA duplexes. Moreover, the base pairing priorities in homo-DNA duplexes differ from those in DNA. A deeper understanding of the particular properties of homo-DNA requires knowledge of its structure. Although diffraction data for crystals of a homo-DNA octamer duplex were available to medium resolution in the mid-1990s, it took another decade for the structure to be solved. In this tutorial Review we describe the odyssey from the crystallization to the final structure determination with its many failures and disappointments and the development of selenium chemistry to derivatize nucleic acids for crystallographic phasing. More than fifty years after the discovery of the DNA double helix, the story of homo-DNA also provides a demonstration of the limits of theoretical models and offers a fresh view of fundamental issues in regard to the natural nucleic acids, such as the origins of antiparallel pairing and helicality.
