Two moles of periodic acid per mole of glycoside are required. One mole of formic acid is produced. (d ) There are two independent vicinal diol functions in this glycoside. Two moles of periodic acid are required per mole of substrate. 25.18 (a) The structure shown in Figure 25.2 is D-(�)-xylose; therefore (�)-xylose must be its mirror image and has the L-configuration at C-4. (b) Alditols are the reduction products of carbohydrates; D-xylitol is derived from D-xylose by conversion of the terminal GCHO to GCH2OH. (c) Redraw the Fischer projection of D-xylose in its eclipsed conformation.
