Supply structures for H through K. Given : " An Aldohexose "overset (MH_2OH"/base ")(to)H overset (Ae_2O"/"NaOAC)(to)I overset (-HOAC)(to)J overset (NaOMe"/"MeOH)(to)K. Discuss the possibility of epimer formation.

Answer»

SOLUTION :The `alpha-CHOH` becomes the `-CH=O` WITHOUT any configurational changes of the other chiral CARBONS. Thus no EPIMERS are formed.
