Question

L-isomer of tetrose X ( C 4 H 8 O 4 ) gives positive Schiff&rsquo;s test and has two chiral carbons. On acetylation &lsquo;X&rsquo; yields triacetate. &lsquo;X&rsquo; also undergoes following reactions.

Aicharya · Accepted Answer

The tetrose is giving Schiff's test means it has aldehyde group. The compound $X$ on reduction with ${NaBH}_{4}$ give Chiral compound so compound can be identified as . The compound can give triacetate on acetylation.
