Question
8. Compound K (CH12O6) is a reducing sugar. Oxidation of K with dilute HNO3 gives an optically inactive aldaric acid, Compound L (C6H10O8). Ruff degradation of Compound K gives a new reducing sugar, Compound M (C5H10O5), which is oxidized by dilute HNO3 to an optically active diacid, Compound N (C5H8O7). Draw Fischer
