(10 points) An unknown aldotetrose was reacted with HCN followed by reduction with H_{2} over P * d/B * aS*O_{4} to give aldopentoses A and B. Aldopentose B was reacted with HCN followed by reduction with H_{2} over over P * d/B * aS*O_{4} to give aldohexoses C and D. Aldohexose D was identified as Dglucose. a) Identify the sugars represented by A, B, C and the original unknown aldotetrose. b) Draw the Hayworth projection for sugar C, assume it is in its hemiacetal form.
