Carbohydrates ketone

Carbohydrate (Section 25.1) A polyhydroxy aldehyde or ketone. Carbohydrates can be either simple sugars, such as glucose, or complex sugars, such as cellulose. 

Polyhydroxy Aldehydes and Ketones Carbohydrates are a class of organic biopolymers which consist of polyhydroxy aldehydes and ketones, their derivatives and polymers. Other terms for carbohydrates include sugars and saccharides. A single monomer unit is called a monosaccharide several units are referred to as an oligosaccharide larger polymers are called polysaccharides. The simplest carbohydrates are glyceraldehyde and dihydroxyacetone. 

The oxidation of aldose phenylosazones to aldos-2-uloses (osones) and the g.l.c. separation of the TMS ethers of the products have been examined in the cases of the D-f/ reo-pentose, D-arabino-, D-lyxo-, L-xy/o-hexose compounds, and two disaccharide derivatives. A new approach to the synthesis of ketonic carbohydrate derivatives involves the treatment of amino-compounds with sterically hindered quinones to prepare imines which rearrange as shown in Scheme 1 to give products which undergo hydrolysis to ketones. The method gave the 2- and 3-ulosides, respectively, when applied to methyl 2-amino-2-deoxy-a- and 3-D-glucopyranoside and methyl 3-amino-3-deoxy-j3-D-allo-furanoside. ... 

A ketone carbohydrate is called a ketose and is sometimes designated with a keto- prefix. For example, glyceraldehyde is an aldofriose and fructose is a ketohexose.

Phenylhydrazine on exposure to light slowly darkens and eventually becomes deep red in colour salts of the base share this property but to a lesser degree, the sulphate and acetate (of the common salts) being most stable to light. Phenylhydrazine is largely used in organic chemistry to characterise aldehydes and ketones as their phenyl-hydrazones (pp. 342, 345), and carbohydrates as their osazones (pp. 136-140). It is readily reduced thus in the process of osazone formation some of the phenylhydrazine is reduced to aniline and ammonia. On the... 

Carbohydrates may be divided into monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides. The monosaccharides under certain conditions react as polyhydroxy-aldehydes or polyhydroxy-ketones two important representatives are glucose CjHjjO (an aldose) and fructose (laevulose) CgHuO, (a ketose). Upon hydrolysis di- and polysaccharides 3deld ultimately monosaccharides. Common disaccharides are sucrose, lactose and maltose (all of molecular formula C,2H2. 0,), whilst starch, dextrin and cellulose, (CjHjoOj), in which n > 4, are typical polysaccharides. 

Historically carbohydrates were once considered to be hydrates of carbon because their molecular formulas m many (but not all) cases correspond to C (H20) j It IS more realistic to define a carbohydrate as a polyhydroxy aldehyde or polyhydroxy ketone a point of view closer to structural reality and more suggestive of chemical reactivity...

Cleavage reactions of carbohydrates also occur on treatment with aqueous base for prolonged periods as a consequence of base catalyzed retro aldol reactions As pointed out m Section 18 9 aldol addition is a reversible process and (3 hydroxy carbonyl com pounds can be cleaved to an enolate and either an aldehyde or a ketone...

Commercial lecithin is insoluble but infinitely dispersible in water. Treatment with water dissolves small amounts of its decomposition products and adsorbed or coacervated substances, eg, carbohydrates and salts, especially in the presence of ethanol. However, a small percentage of water dissolves or disperses in melted lecithin to form an imbibition. Lecithin forms imbibitions or absorbates with other solvents, eg, alcohols, glycols, esters, ketones, ethers, solutions of almost any organic and inorganic substance, and acetone. It is remarkable that the classic precipitant for phosphoHpids, eg, acetone, dissolves in melted lecithin readily to form a thin, uniform imbibition. Imbibition often is used to bring a reactant in intimate contact with lecithin in the preparation of lecithin derivatives. 

The basic carbohydrate molecule possesses an aldehyde or ketone group and a hydroxyl group on every carbon atom except the one involved in the carbonyl group. As a result, carbohydrates are defined as aldehyde or ketone derivatives of polyhydroxy alcohols and their reaction products. A look at the formula for glucose shows that it contains hydrogen and oxygen atoms in the ratio in which they are found in water. The name carbohydrate... 

Acetalation. As polyhydroxy compounds, carbohydrates react with aldehydes and ketones to form cycHc acetals (1,13). Examples are the reaction of D-glucose with acetone and a protic or Lewis acid catalyst to form l,2 5,6-di-0-isoprop5lidene-a-D-glucofuranose [582-52-5] and its reaction with benzaldehyde to form 4,6-0-benzyhdene-D-glucopyranose [25152-90-3]. The 4,6-0-(l-carboxyethyhdine) group (related to pymvic acid) occurs naturally in some polysaccharides. 

Me3Si)2NH, Me3SiCl, Pyr, 20°, 5 min, 100% yield. ROH is a carbohydrate. Hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) is one of the most common sily-lating agents and readily silylates alcohols, acids, amines, thiols, phenols, hydroxamic acids, amides, thioamides, sulfonamides, phosphoric amides, phosphites, hydrazines, and enolizable ketones. It works best in the presence of a catalyst such as X-NH-Y, where at least one of the group X or Y is electron-withdrawing. ...

From the organochemical point of view, carbohydrates/polysaccharides are more or less substituted polyhydroxy aldehydes (e.g., glucose—>glucans) or polyhydroxy ketons (e.g., fructose-n fructans). From the physicochemical point of view, an enormous heterogeneity also exists in... 

Sections Carbohydrates undergo chemical reactions characteristic of aldehydes and 25.17-25.24 ketones, alcohols, diols, and other classes of compounds, depending on their structure. A review of the reactions described in this chapter is presented in Table 25.2. Although some of the reactions have synthetic value, many of them are used in analysis and structure deter-mination.
