Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The Fischer projection for the product formed by reaction of D-Galactose with sodium boronhydride,
Concept introduction:
An aldose can undergo reduction on reaction with sodiumboronhydride resulting formation of identical side chain, the compound so formed is known as alditol.
For example, the reduction of D-glucose is represented as follows:
