Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Glycosidic linkage has to be located in given disaccharide.
Concept Introduction:
Carbohydrates that are composed of two monosaccharide units are known as disaccharides. This is formed when one hydroxyl group of one monosaccharide reacts with a hydroxyl group of another monosaccharide. The bond formed between the two monosaccharide units is
Depending on the orientation of the glycosidic linkage, the glycoside bond can be of two types. They are
(b)
Interpretation:
The carbon atoms has to be numbered in both rings of given disaccharide.
(c)
Interpretation:
Glycosidic linkage has to be classified as
Concept Introduction:
Refer part (a).

- Give the major product that is formed when the primary hydroxyl group of the followingmonosaccharide reacts with propionic anhydride.arrow_forwardAnswer the following questions about the eight aldopentoses: a. Which are enantiomers? b. Which are C-2 epimers? c. Which form an optically active compound when oxidized with nitric acid?arrow_forwardMonosaccharides can be drawn in a variety of ways, and in truth, often a mixture of cyclic compounds is present in a solution. Identify each monosaccharide, including its proper D,L designation, drawn in a less-than-typical fashion.arrow_forward
- does structure E represent fructofuranose? explainarrow_forwardA D-aldopentose A is reduced to an optically active alditol. Upon Kiliani–Fischer synthesis, A is converted to two Daldohexoses, B and C. B is oxidized to an optically inactive aldaric acid. C is oxidized to an optically active aldaric acid. What are the structures of A–C?arrow_forwardA disaccharide is shown below. For part (a), circle the anomeric carbon atoms. For part (b), explain whether it is a reducing sugar or non-reducing sugar.arrow_forward
