Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The two alditols that are produced when D-fructose is reduced are to be represented.

Concept introduction:

The sodium borohydride or lithium aluminum hydride or catalytic hydrogenation is used to reduce carbonyl groups in carbohydrates.

The product of the reduction reaction of ketose or aldose yields alditols.

Alditols lack the carbonyl group and exist entirely in open chain form.
