A

Ketoacidosis

FYI: (Uncontrolled diabetes, extreme dieting.)

23
Q

Reactions of Monosaccharides- Reduction:

When D-glucose, D-ylose, and D-Ribose are treated with H2 and Pt, they are converted into ______________.

A

Alcohol sugars

24
Q

Benedict’s reagent is a _____ oxidizing agent.

25
Q

Benedict’s reagent oxidizes _______ but not ________.

In nature, these oxidations are catalyzed by _______.

A

Aldehydes

Alcohols

(alcohols can oxidize, not w/ benedicts though)

Enzymes

26
Q

Sugars that give a positive Benedict’s test are called ____________.

A

Reducing Sugars

27
Q

Ketones(CH2OH) will test negative with Benedict’s test.

D-Fructose does not contain an aldehyde(CHO) group, D-Fructose gives a positive Benedict’s test. Why?

A

Under basic conditions of the Benedict’s test, D-fructose rearranges to become D-glucose or D-mannose, each of which is an aldehyde.

28
Q

Sugars that give a positive Benedict’s test are called reducing sugars.

What happens during this oxidation process that gives a positive Benedict’s test result?

A

In the process of being oxidized, they reduce the Cu2+ (blue) present in the reagent to Cu+ (red-brown).

The positive reddish brown ppt is due to the copper(I) ion formed.

29
Q

The product that forms when an aldehyde is reacted with one alcohol molecule is called a __________.

The product from a ketone and an alcohol is known as a __________.

A

Hemiacetal

Hemiketal

30
Q

When an alcohol molecule is present in the same molecule as an aldehyde or ketone group, a _________ forms.

A

Cyclic Hemiacetal

FYI: Cyclic Hemiacetal is a very important part of the chemistry of sugars.

31
Q

D-Glucose has one aldehyde and five alcohol groups, which presents the possibility for the existence of a numver of different ______________.

A

Cyclic Hemiacetals

32
Q

Pyranose = ______ atoms in ring.

Furanose = _____ atoms in ring.

A

Pyranose = 6 atoms in ring

Furanose = 5 atoms in ring.

33
Q

Anomers:

The hemiacetal with the -OH on carbon 1 pointing down is a called the _______ anomer.

The hemiacetal with the -OH group pointing up is the ________ anomer.

A

alpha (a)

beta (b)

34
Q

__________ is the interconversion of the alpha and beta anomers.

“alpha ⇔ open ⇔ beta”

“Interconversion”: A process in which two things are each converted into the other, often as the result of chemical or physical activity

A

Mutarotation

Must be able to open up = alpha ⇔ open ⇔ beta

In solution, cyclic hemiacetal groups of alpha and beta anomers undergo continuous change.

35
Q

When two alcohol molecules react with an aldehyde or ketone in the presence of H+, an _______ or _______ forms.

A

Acetal

Ketal

36

39
Q

Is Maltose a reducing sugar?

A
  • In maltose, the glucose residue with the hemiacetal carbon atom can undergo mutarotation.
  • When in the open form, it reacts as an aldehyde and can be oxidized by Benedict’s.
  • This makes maltose a reducing sugar.
  • i.e. alpha ⇔ open ⇔ beta
