The most stable conformation of the pyranose ring of most D-aldohexoses places the largest group, , in the equatorial position. An exception to this is the aldohexose D-idose. Draw the two possible chair conformations of either the or anomers of D-idose. Explain why the more stable conformation has the group in the axial position.
Question: Convert each Haworth projection to its acyclic form.

Draw a stepwise mechanism for the following reaction.

The following isomerization reaction, drawn using D-glucose as starting material, occurs with all aldohexoses in the presence of base. Draw a stepwise mechanism that illustrates how each compound is formed.

A D-aldopentose A is reduced to an optically active alditol. Upon Kiliani-Fischer synthesis, A is converted to two D-aldohexoses, B and C. B is oxidized to an optically inactive aldaric acid. C is oxidized to an optically active aldaric acid. What are the structures of A-C?
