1. Answer ALL parts a)-e). The structures of hexose sugars 1 and 2 are given below. OH OH HO HO -OH OH OH OH 1 CH3 a) State which of these compounds is a reducing sugar. Briefly justify your answer. [2] b) Draw the open chain form of 1 as a Fischer projection. [5] c) Draw a curly-arrow mechanism for the acid-catalysed hydrolysis of 2. [5] d) Draw the structure of a carbohydrate product formed when a kinase enzyme acts on compound 1. State the other starting materials and products of this reaction. [4] e) Using compound 1 as the basis for your examples, illustrate how the combination of two identical monosaccharides can give rise to many different isomeric disaccharides. [4] OH
