Draw the products formed when D-altrose is treated with each reagent.

How would you convert d-glucose into each compound? More than one step is required.
(a.)
(b.)
(c.)
Cellobiose, a disaccharide obtained by the hydrolysis of cellulose, is composed of two glucose units joined together in a glycoside bond. What is the structure of cellobiose?
A D-aldohexose A is formed from an aldopentose B by the Kiliani-Fischer synthesis. Reduction of A with forms an optically inactive alditol. Oxidation of B forms an optically active aldaric acid. What are the structures of A and B?
Consider the tetrasaccharide stachyose drawn below. Stachyose is found in white jasmine, soybeans, and lentils. Because humans cannot digest it, its consumption causes flatulence.

a. Label all glycoside bonds.

c. What products are formed when stachyose is hydrolyzed with H3O+?
d. Is stachyose a reducing sugar?
e. What product is formed when stachyose is treated with excess CH3I, Ag2O?
f. What products are formed when the product in (e) is treated with H3O+?
