Using the Fischer projection of glucose shown above, show what happens to glucose when it is placed in a basic solution (specific names of products are not necessary but Fischer projections of those structures are, mechanistic arrows may help your explanation, draw Fischer projections of any intermediates that help your explanation)
In basic solution, glucose undergoes tautomerization via an enediol intermediate, leading to isomerization and epimerization. Below is the stepwise process using Fischer projections:
CHO │ H │ OH │ H │ OH │ H │ CH₂OH
OH⁻ abstracts the acidic α-hydrogen (C1-H), forming a enediolate intermediate:
C(OH)= │ H │ OH │ H │ OH │ H │ CH₂OH
The enediolate tautomerizes to a neutral enediol:
CH(OH)- │ C(OH)= │ H │ OH │ H │ CH₂OH
Reprotonation at C2 yields two major products:
D-Fructose (ketose formed if C2 is protonated):
CH₂OH │ C=O │ H │ OH │ H │ CH₂OH
D-Mannose (epimer of glucose at C2, if C1 is reprotonated):
CHO │ H │ OH │ OH │ H │ CH₂OH
D-Fructose (ketose form, C2=O).
D-Mannose (C2 epimer of glucose).
Mechanistic Drivers: Base-catalyzed enolization leads to reversible C1-C2 bond reshuffling.
No Oxidation: Unlike acidic conditions, base mediates isomerization, not degradation.
Visual Clue: The enediol intermediate is planar (sp² hybridized at C1 and C2).

Problem #3 Show how you would synthesize the compound represented in the Fischer projection below starting from acetylene. You may use any other reagent necessary. HC-OH HC-OH Extra Credit When treated with hydrogen and a platinum catalyst, an unknown compound X absorbs 5 equivalents of hydrogen to give 7-butylcyclohexane. Treatment of X with an excess of ozone, followed by dimethyl sulfide and water, gives the products shown below. Propose a structure for X.
Create a metabolic pathway map that shows what happens to a glucose molecule that enters a muscle cell and becomes metabolized to lactate (in Oz-depleted muscle). Follow the lactate through the Cori cycle, and show how it ultimately gets converted to a glucose molecule that can once again enter the muscle cell. In addition, show how the glucose may be stored as glycogen, and mobilized from glycogen in both liver and muscle. Also show how pyruvate gets converted to acetyl-CoA...

Identification of Common Aldoses from Optical Rotation and NMR Pre-lab Preparation: Read Klein Sections 5-4 ("Optical Activity", pg 205-209) and 24-6 ("Reduction of Monosaccharides, pg 1157-1160). In your notebook prepare a chart of the structures to be studied by drawing Fischer projections across the top of a new page for the following five aldoses: D-glucose, D-mannose, D-galactose, L-arabinose, and D-xylose. Under each aldose, draw the Fischer projection of the alditol which...
