Chapter 20, Problem 60P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mechanism for the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of βmaltose is to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

The disaccharides formed from the monosaccharide units that are connected with each other through the glycosidic bonds.  Glycosidic bonds are the type of covalent bonds.  The condensation reactions are also involved in the formation of disaccharides.  The elimination of water molecules takes place during the reaction.

An acid catalyzed hydrolysis is the process in which H+ ions are used to break down the chemical bonds with an addition of water molecules.  These reactions come in the category of the nucleophilic substitution reactions
