When optically active D-aldopentose was subjected to Kiliani-Fischer synthesis, followed by NaBH4/H2O, it produced a mixture of an optically active and an optically inactive alditol. When the same D-aldopentose was subjected to Wohl degradation followed by HNO3 it produced an optically inactive aldaric acid. Provide the structure of this D-aldopentose.

X Your answer is incorrect. When an optically active D-aldopentose was subjected to Kiliani-Fischer synthesis, followed by NaBH4/H2O, it produced a mixture of an optically active and an optically inactive alditol. When the same D-aldopentose was subjected to Wohl degradation followed by HNO3 it produced an optically inactive aldaric acid. Provide the structure of this D-aldopentose.
