D-mannose exists entirely in pyranose form. The specific rotation for the \(\pi-\)anomer is 29° and that of \(\beta-\)anomer is -17°. The specific rotation of the equilibrium mixture is 14°. Calculate the percentage of each anomer in the equilibrium mixture and select the correct statement:
  1. Percentage of \(\text { II }\)-anomer is 67.4%.
  2. Percentage of \(\beta\)-anomer is 38.5%.
  3. Percentage of \(\text { II }\)-anomer is 87.3%.
  4. Percentage of \(\beta\)-anomer is 67.4%.

Answer

(A) Percentage of II -anomer is 67.4%.
