Fucose is a deoxy sugar, meaning that it has an oxygen atom “missing.” That is, an –OH group (the one at C6) is replaced by an –H. We’ll not look specifically at these conversions, but might note that Problems 25-30 through 25-32 and 25-35 at the end of the chapter lead you through several of the biosynthetic pathways.

N-acetylneuaminic acid forms a pyranose ring by a intramolecular hemiacetal formation between the -OH on C6 and the ketone functional group in the pyruvate moiety. 1) Please show the mechanism of the aldol reaction between N-acetylmannosamine and pyruvate to form neuraminic acid.
