Interpretation:
The structure of compound
Concept introduction:
Ruff degradation is a process in which an aldose is converted into another aldose containing one carbon less than the starting aldose. In this process, an aldose is converted into aldonic acid by oxidation with
Killani Fischer synthesis is the three step process: conversion of aldose into cyanohydrins; hydrolysis; and reduction. The overall use of Killani Fischer synthesis is to synthesize two diastereomeric aldoses with an increased asymmetric carbon from an aldose.
