2. (2017 midterm) Circle your choice. In intramolecular rearrangement reactions, different groups in a molecule may undergo oxidation-reduction, with no net change in oxidation state of the molecule. An example of an isomerization entailing oxidation-reduction is the formation of fructose 6-phosphate from glucose 6- phosphate in glycolysis. In the forward reaction from G-6-P to F-6-P. C-1 is (oxidized reduced) and C-2 is (oxidized reduced). CH20H CH HC-OH HO-C-H- HO-C-H H-C-OH H-C-OH H-C-OH H-C-OH CH,OD CH20-P

Explanation / Answer

C1 is reduced from -CHO group into -CH2OH

and C2 is oxidised from -CHOH group into -C=O (carbonyl group)
