Verified step by step guidance

Identify the functional groups in D-idose. It contains an aldehyde group at the top and several hydroxyl groups along the carbon chain.

Understand the reaction conditions: H2/Pt is a reducing agent, while Cu2+ (aq) is an oxidizing agent.

For the reduction reaction with H2/Pt, the aldehyde group in D-idose will be reduced to a primary alcohol, resulting in the conversion of the aldehyde to an alcohol group.

For the oxidation reaction with Cu2+ (aq), the aldehyde group in D-idose will be oxidized to a carboxylic acid, converting the aldehyde to a carboxyl group.

Examine the provided images to match the structures with the expected products of reduction and oxidation. The reduction product should have an alcohol group where the aldehyde was, and the oxidation product should have a carboxylic acid group where the aldehyde was.
