Can someone help me on this question from the 2011 Chemistry for Biomedicine exam paper:

Question B2)

b) D-Psicose is a 2-ketohexose. Reduction of D-psicose using sodium borohydride affords two polyhydroxylated derivatives, one of which is term D-gulitol. By consulting the D-sugar family tree (Appendix C).:

 i) Draw a Fischer projection of the structure for D-gulitol and the other product (i.e not D-gulitol) formed upon the reduction of D-psicose. Suggest an appropriate name for this compound.

ii) Draw a Fischer projection of the structure of D-psicose.
