D-Glucuronic acid is found widely in plants and animals.
Chapter 21, Problem 46P(choose chapter or problem)
ᴅ-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 the urine. Draw the structure of the glucuronide formed by the reaction of \(\beta\)-ᴅ-glucuronic acid and phenol.
