In water, d-glucose exists as an equilibrium mixture of three different structures, an open chain structure (present in trace amounts) and two chair conformational structures, one present in a ~64% amount and the other in a 36% amount. draw each of the structures in question and comment on why there is a greater amount of one cyclic structure present over the other. also explain why there is so little of the open chain structure present in the mixture. (i) (12 mark in relation to the three structures drawn in (i) above, explain the (5 mark (ii) phenonomen "mutarotation of d-glucose". in your answer it is necessary to quote appropriate specific rotation values. (8 mar in relation to the two cyclic structures you have drawn, explain (iii) the terms diastereomers; anomers; heterocycles; chiral centres reducing sugars. q6. answer all parts.

1. suppose a reaction mixture, when diluted with water, afforded 300 ml of an aqueous solution of 30 g of the reaction product malononitrile [ch2(cn)2], which is to be isolated by extraction with ether. the solubility of malononitrile in ether at room temperature is 20.0 g/100 ml, and in water is 13.3 g/100 ml. what weight of malononitrile would be recovered by extraction with (a) three 100-ml portions of ether and (b) one 300-ml portion of ether? suggestion: for each extraction, let x equal the weight extracted into the ether layer. in part (a), the concentration in the ether layer is x/100 and in the water layer is (30 x)/300; the ratio of these quantities is equal to k 20/13.3.
