An important protecting group developed specifically for polyhydroxy compounds like nucleosides is the tetraisopropyl-disiloxanyl group, abbreviated TIPDS, that can protect two alcohol groups in a molecule.

(a) The TIPDS group is somewhat hindered around the Siatoms by the isopropyl groups. Which OHis more likely to react first with TIPDS chloride? Show the product with the TIPDS group on one oxygen.
(b) Once the TIPDS group is attached at the first oxygen, it reaches around to the next closest oxygen. Show the final product with two oxygens protected.
(c) The unprotected hydroxy group can now undergo reactions without affecting the protected oxygens. Show the product after the protected nucleoside from (b) is treated with tosyl chloride and pyridine, followed by NaBr, ending with deprotection with Bu4NF.
Fructose is found in many fruits. From memory, draw fructose in
Which of the following sugars are reducing sugars? Comment on the common name sucrose for table sugar.
(a) (b) (an aldohexose)
(c) (d)
(e) (f)

The relative configurations of the stereoisomers of tartaric acid were established by the following synthesis:
(1) D-(+)-glyceraldehydediastereomers A and B (separated)
(2) Hydrolysis of A and B using aqueous Ba(OH)2 gave C and D, respectively.
(3) HNO3 oxidation of C and D gave (-)-tartaric acid and meso-tartaric acid, respectively.
(a) You know the absolute configuration of D-(+)-glyceraldehyde, Use Fischer projections to show the absolute configurations of products A, B, C, and D.
(b) Show the absolute configurations of the three stereoisomers of tartaric acid: (+)-tartaric acid, (-)-tartaric acid, and meso-tartaric acid.
Draw and name the enantiomers of the sugars shown in Figure 23-2. Give the relative configuration (D or L) and the sign of the rotation in each case.
