Which is not an intermediate monosaccharide in the Kiliani-Fischer synthesis of d-mannose from d-glyceraldehyde?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Kiliani-Fischer synthesis involves the stepwise addition of carbon atoms to a sugar, thereby increasing its chain length. d-Ribose and d-Threose are not intermediates in the synthesis of d-mannose from d-glyceraldehyde, as the process specifically elongates the carbon chain to eventually form d-mannose, bypassing these sugars.
