Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mechanism for the formation of βlactose from αgalactose and βDglucose in dilute HCl has to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

The general steps followed by the acid catalyzed reaction are as follows:

  • First step is the protonation of alcohol group placed at first position of βDglucose.
  • The second step is the removal of OH2 group by the attack of lone pair of oxygen of alcohol group placed at fourth position of αgalactose.
  • The third step is the deprotonation.
