Suggest a possible mechanism for the acid catalyzed reaction of a typical ketohexose to give 5-hydroxymethylfurfural.

Chemistry

Brut [27]2 years ago

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Taking the acid catalysed hydrolysis of fructose C6H12O6, the mechanism begins with the protonation of an -OH group as shown.

This is now followed by dehydration and formation of a keto-enol tautomer. The keto form is now dehydrated followed by the protonation of a second -OH group.

A second dehydration followed by deprotonation leads to the formation of  5-hydroxymethylfurfural.

Triglycerides, fatty acids and glycerol differ with respect to polarity, H-bonds, and functional groups. Discuss the differences
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Triglycerides are actually fats made from condensation of fatty acids and glycerol, and used in making soap because it readily reacts caustic alkali and precipitates soap molcules while glycerol is the produced alongside

Explanation:

Triglycerides are made when 3 molecules of fatty acids condenses with one molecule of glycerol having 3-sites of OH where the condensation takes place with the COOH functional group in the fatty acids and 3 molecules of water
