QUESTION:
Draw the nucleoside formed from each of the following pairs of compounds and name the nucleoside: (a) 2-Deoxy-d-ribose and adenine (b) d-Ribose and guanine
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
(a) The first pair of compounds is 2-deoxy-D-ribose and adenine. The 2-deoxy prefix indicates that C2 contains only hydrogens, and no oxygenated functional groups.
Note that this is one of the four naturally occurring deoxyribonucleosides present in
DNA.
