D-Glucuronic acid is found widely in plants and animals. One of its functions is to detoxify poisonous HO-containing compounds by reacting with them in the liver to form glucuronides. Glucuronides are water soluble and therefore readily excreted. After one ingests a poison such as turpentine, morphine, or phenol, the glucuronides of these compounds are found in the urine. Give the structure of the glucuronide formed by the reaction of β-D-glucuronic acid and phenol.
