Draw the Fischer projection (i.e., 'straight-chain' form) of D-Galactose as well as both anomeric ring forms in either the Haworth projection or the chair

 

Draw the Fischer projection (i.e., 'straight-chain' form) of D-Galactose as well as both anomeric ring forms in either the Haworth projection or the chair form. Describe the process of mutarotation, using the above examples of D-Galactose. Identify all stereocentres in the drawing of your Fischer projection and determine R or S configuration for all chiral centres. Show your work. Is D-Galactose a 'reducing' sugar? Explain by illustrating relevant reactions that can be used to identify reducing sugars. Comment on the stereochemistry of the reaction product that is produced by oxidation of D- Galactose with a 'strong' oxidant.
