The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding D-3 Deoxyglucose and its chiral carbon atoms and stereoisomers, we will analyze both statements step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding Chiral Carbons A chiral carbon atom is defined as a carbon atom that is attached to four different groups. To determine the number of chiral carbons in D-3 Deoxyglucose, we need to draw its structure. ### Step 2: Drawing the Structure of D-3 Deoxyglucose The structure of D-3 Deoxyglucose can be represented as follows: ``` CHO | H - C - OH | H - C - H | H - C - OH | CH2OH ``` ### Step 3: Identifying Chiral Carbons Now, we will identify the chiral carbons in the structure: 1. **First Carbon (C1)**: Attached to -CHO (aldehyde), -H, -OH, and -C2. This carbon is not chiral because it has a double bond to oxygen (not four different groups). 2. **Second Carbon (C2)**: Attached to -H, -OH, -C1, and -C3. This carbon is chiral because it has four different groups attached. 3. **Third Carbon (C3)**: Attached to -H, -H, -C2, and -C4. This carbon is not chiral because it has two identical hydrogen atoms. 4. **Fourth Carbon (C4)**: Attached to -H, -OH, -C3, and -CH2OH. This carbon is chiral because it has four different groups. 5. **Fifth Carbon (C5)**: Attached to -H, -H, -C4, and -OH. This carbon is not chiral because it has two identical hydrogen atoms. ### Step 4: Counting Chiral Carbons From the analysis above, we find that D-3 Deoxyglucose has **two chiral carbon atoms** (C2 and C4). ### Step 5: Calculating the Number of Stereoisomers The number of stereoisomers can be calculated using the formula \(2^n\), where \(n\) is the number of chiral centers. Since we have 2 chiral centers: \[ \text{Number of stereoisomers} = 2^2 = 4 \] ### Conclusion - **Statement I**: D-3 Deoxyglucose has four chiral carbon atoms. **(False)** - **Statement II**: It exists in eight stereoisomers. **(False, it exists in four stereoisomers)** Thus, both statements are incorrect. ### Final Answer Both Statement I and Statement II are false. ---
