  • 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.

  • Aldehydes Can React with Alcohols to Form Hemiacetals
    340 14 . Nucleophilic substitution at C=O with loss of carbonyl oxygen You have, in fact, already met some reactions in which the carbonyl oxygen atom can be lost, but you probably didn’t notice at the time. The equilibrium between an aldehyde or ketone and its hydrate (p. 000) is one such reaction. O HO OH H2O + R1 R2 R1 R2 When the hydrate reverts to starting materials, either of its two oxygen atoms must leave: one OPh came from the water and one from the carbonyl group, so 50% of the time the oxygen atom that belonged to the carbonyl group will be lost. Usually, this is of no consequence, but it can be useful. O For example, in 1968 some chemists studying the reactions that take place inside mass spectrometers needed to label the carbonyl oxygen atom of this ketone with the isotope 18 O. 16 18 By stirring the ‘normal’ O compound with a large excess of isotopically labelled water, H 2 O, for a few hours in the presence of a drop of acid they were able to make the required labelled com- í In Chapter 13 we saw this way of pound.

The purpose of this year’s project was to teach students how to synthesize a molecule that potentially mimics an existing drug that works against the COVID-19. The available drugs chosen for the project are those that are proposed to work either by prohibiting the easy entry of the virus into respiratory tissues or those who deprive the virus’s ability to reproduce once they enter the cell. An investigative search in historical literature and the current conditions of the virus enabled students to create a unique and innovative product that requires a cumulative learned knowledge. History has shown that when a new virus becomes pandemic it takes time for researchers to create a drug, test the results, and gets approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for public availability.

Disaccharides with a free hemiacetal group (Reducing disaccharide) ii. Disaccharides without a free hemiacetal group (Non- Reducing Disaccharide) 10:51 AM 3 Nomenclature of Reducing Disaccharides • A disaccharide in which one glycosyl unit appears to have replaced the hydrogen atom of a hydroxyl group of the other is named as a glycosylglycose. The locants of the glycosidic linkage and the anomeric descriptor(s) must be given in the full name. • The parent sugar residue in such a reducing disaccharide is chosen on the basis of the following criteria: • The parent sugar residue is the one that includes the functional group most preferred by general principles of organic nomenclature.

  • 1 General Aspects of the Glycosidic Bond Formation Alexei V
    j1 1 General Aspects of the Glycosidic Bond Formation Alexei V. Demchenko 1.1 Introduction Since the first attempts at the turn of the twentieth century, enormous progress has been made in the area of the chemical synthesis of O-glycosides. However, it was only in the past two decades that the scientificworldhadwitnessedadramatic improvement the methods used for chemical glycosylation. The development of new classes of glycosyl donors has not only allowed accessing novel types of glycosidic linkages but also led to the discovery of rapid and convergent strategies for expeditious oligosaccharide synthesis. This chapter summarizes major prin- ciples of the glycosidic bond formation and strategies to obtain certain classes of compounds, ranging from glycosides of uncommon sugars to complex oligosac- charide sequences. 1.2 Major Types of O-Glycosidic Linkages There are two major types of O-glycosides, which are, depending on nomen- clature, most commonly defined as a-andb-, or 1,2-cis and 1,2-trans glycosides. The 1,2-cis glycosyl residues, a-glycosides for D-glucose, D-galactose, L-fucose, D-xylose or b-glycosides for D-mannose, L-arabinose, as well as their 1,2-trans counter- parts (b-glycosides for D-glucose, D-galactose, a-glycosides for D-mannose,etc.),are equally important components in a variety of natural compounds. Representative examples of common glycosides are shown in Figure 1.1. Some other types of glycosides, in particular 2-deoxyglycosides and sialosides, can be defined neither as 1,2-cis nor as 1,2-trans derivatives, yet are important targets because of their com- mon occurrence as components of many classes of natural glycostructures.

However, as described in Section 18.9, aldehydes and ke- tones react with alcohols to form hemiacetals. When this reaction is intermolecular— that is, when the aldehyde group and the alcohol group are in different molecules—the equilibrium is unfavorable and the amount of hemiacetal that is present is very small. However, when the aldehyde group and the alcohol group are contained in the same molecule, as is the case in the second equation that follows, the intramolecular reaction is much more favorable (because of entropy effects; see Sections 8.13 and 18.9) and the hemiacetal is the predominant species present at equilibrium.

This and the following sections consider some reactions that begin as additions but involve other types of mechanistic steps. A. Preparation and Hydrolysis of Acetals When an aldehyde or ketone reacts with a large excess of an alcohol in the presence of a trace of strong acid, an acetal is formed.

In other words, acetals are the ethers of carbonyl hydrates, or gem-diols (Sec. 19.7). (Acetals derived from ketones were once called ketals, but this name is no longer used.) Notice that two equivalents of alcohol are consumed in each of the preceding reactions. However, 1,2- and 1,3-diols contain two OH groups within the same molecule. Hence, one equivalent of a 1,2- or 1,3-diol can react Lto form a cyclic acetal, in which the acetal group is part of a five- or six-membered ring, respectively.
