A D-aldopentose forms two aldohexoses, A and B, after a Kiliani-Fisher synthesis. Aldohexose A is oxidized to an optically inactive aldaric acid, while aldohexose B is oxidized to an optically active aldaric acid. The aldopentose can also be oxidized to an optically inactive aldaric acid. Deduce the structures of the aldopentose and the two aldohexoses.
