Chapter 23, Problem PROBLEM 23-15

(choose chapter or problem)

Emil Fischer synthesized L-gulose, an unusual aldohexose that reduces to give d-glucitol. Suggest a structure for this L sugar, and show how L-gulose gives the same alditol as D-glucose. (Hint: D-Glucitol has \(-CH_2OH\) groups at both ends. Either of these primary alcohol groups might have come from reduction of an aldehyde.)
