Question:

The sequence of reactions shown in Fig. P24.52, called the Weerman degradation, can be used to degrade an aldose to another aldose with one less carbon atom. Using glucose as the aldose, explain what is happening in each step of the sequence. Your explanation should include the identity of compounds A and B.aldose Br/HO Figure P24.52 H3O+ A NH3 heat B Cl NaOH an aldose with one less carbon
