Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
From given monosaccharides, the two which are stereoisomers needs to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Stereoisomers are the molecules which have the same molecular formula and the constitution of the bonding atoms, but differ in the three-dimensional orientation.
(b)
Interpretation:
Constitutional isomeric pairs should be selected among A, B & C.
Concept introduction:
Constitutional isomers show differences in the connectivity of atoms.
(c)
Interpretation:
Required changes should be done to B, in order to derive the enantiomer of B.
Concept introduction:
Enantiomers are two stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other.
(d)
Interpretation:
A Fischer projection should be derived by making necessary structural changes to A.
Concept introduction:
Fischer projection is the representation of a chemical structure with horizontal & vertical lines. It is a 2 dimensional perspective.
