List all possible D-2-ketohexoses. One of these D-2-ketohexoses is called sorbose. When sorbose is treated with sodium borohydride it produces a mixture of glucitol and iditol. What is the structure of sorbose? Another D-2-ketohexose, psychosa produces a mixture of alitol and altritol when reduced with sodium borohydride, which is the structure of psychose

Prostaglandins are a class of eicosanoids, fatty acid derivatives with a variety of extremely potent actions on vertebrate tissues. They are responsible for producing fever and inflammation and its associated pain. Prostaglandins are derived from the 20- carbon fatty acid arachidonic acid in a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase. This enzyme, a cyclooxygenase, uses oxygen to convert arachidonic acid to PGG2, the immediate precursor of many different prostaglandins. Rate of formation of PGG2 with 10 mg/ml ibuprofen (mM/min) Arachidonic acid (mM) Rate of formation of PGG2 (mM/min) 0.190 12.3 0.228 13.9 0.342 17.5 0.570 1.33 22.2 28.8 7.71 8.88 11.9 16.3 24.0 The kinetic data given in the table are for the reaction catalyzed by a mutant of prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase. Focusing here on the first two columns, determine the Vmax and Km of the enzyme. Vmax Km = mM/min mM

a. (S)-Penicillamine, an amino acid that does not occur in proteins, is used as a copper chelating agent to treat Wilson's disease, an inherited defect in copper metabolism. (R)-Penicillamine is toxic, sometimes causing blindness. Draw the structures of (R)- and (S)- penicillamine. b. What disulfide is formed from oxidation of (S)-penicillamine?
Digitalis is a preparation made from the dried seeds and leaves of the purple foxglove, Digitalis purpurea, a plant native to southern and central Europe and cultivated in the United States. The preparation is a mixture of several active components, including digitalin. Digi- talis is used in medicine to increase the force of myocardial contraction and as a conduction depressant to decrease heart rate (the heart pumps more forcefully but less often).

a. Draw a three-dimensional structure for the following steroid. b. What is the structure of the single stereoisomer formed by reduction of this ketone with H2, Pd-C? Explain why only one stereoisomer is formed.
A graduate student was studying enzymatic reductions of cyclohexanones when she encountered some interesting chemistry. When she used an enzyme and NADPH to reduce the following ketone, she was surprised to find that the product was optically active. She carefully repurified the product so that no enzyme, NADPH, or other contaminants were present. Still, the product was optically active. Is the product capable of showing optical activity? If it is, explain how.
Betamethasone is a synthetic anti-inammatory steroid used as a topical cream for itching. Betamethasone is derived from cortisol, with the following structural additions: a C=C between C1 and C2, a uorine at C9, and a methyl group at C16. The configuration at C9 is R, and the configuration at C16 is S. Draw the structure of betamethasone.

There is a tick and mosquito repellent DEET (diethyltoluamide) that is prepared by a reaction of diethylamine with m-methylbenzomic acid (m-toluic acid) H+ and heat. What's the structure of DEET?
d-Glucuronic acid is found widely in plants and animals. One of its functions is to detoxify poisonous HO-containing compounds by reacting with them in the liver to form glucuronides. Glucuronides are water soluble and, therefore, readily excreted. After ingestion of a poison such as turpentine or phenol, the glucuronides of these compounds are found in urine. Draw the structure of the glucuronide formed by the reaction of beta-d-glucuronic acid and phenol.
