Chapter 20, Problem 34P

a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The product obtained when D-galactose reacts with nitric acid is to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

D-galactose is a monosaccharide molecule and it is sweet in taste as glucose.  It is C-4 epimer of glucose.

Epimers are pair of stereoisoisomers which differ in configuration at one stereogenic center.  In D-galactose molecule one terminal aldehydic and one terminal alcoholic group is present.

Nitric acid has the chemical formula HNO3 and behaves as a good oxidizing agent. It oxidizes both the terminal functional groups in the acidic group.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The product obtained when D-galactose reacts with NaBH4, followed by H3O+ is to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

D-galactose is a monosaccharide molecule and it is sweet in taste as glucose.  It is C-4 epimer of glucose.

Epimers are pair of stereoisoisomers which differ in configuration at one stereogenic center.  In D-galactose molecule one terminal aldehydic and one terminal alcoholic group is present.  NaBH4 is a good reducing agent.  It reduces aldehydic group to the alcoholic group in the presence of H3O+.
