Consider the following six compounds (A-F).

How are the two compounds in each pair related? Choose from enantiomers, epimers, diastereomers but not epimers, constitutional isomers, and identical compounds.
(a) Draw the more stable chair form of fucose, an essential monosaccharide needed in the diet and a component of carbohydrates on mammalian and plant cell surfaces. (b) Classify fucose as a D- or L-monosaccharide. (c) What two structural features are unusual in fucose?
Draw a stepwise mechanism for the following reaction.

Draw a stepwise mechanism for the following hydrolysis.

As we have seen in Chapter 28, monosaccharides can be drawn in a variety of ways, and in truth, often a mixture of cyclic compounds is present in a solution. Identify each monosaccharide, including its proper D, L designation, draw in a less-than-typical fashion.
