Concept explainers
Interpretation:
A structure for the disaccharide is to be proposed.
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 condensation reactions.
Monosaccharide units are made from the

- An unknown carbohydrate of formula C12H22O11 reacts with Tollens reagent to form asilver mirror. An a@glycosidase has no effect on the carbohydrate, but a b@galactosidasehydrolyzes it to d-galactose and d-mannose. When the carbohydrate is methylated (usingmethyl iodide and silver oxide) and then hydrolyzed with dilute HCl, the products are2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methylgalactose and 2,3,4-tri-O-methylmannose. Propose a structure forthis unknown carbohydratearrow_forwardWhich of the following is FALSE? a. D-altrose and D-talose have the same osazones. b. D-glucose and D-galactose have different osazones. c. Trioses and tetroses cannot form the furfural derivatives because of their inability to form the 5-membered ring. d. Barfoed’s reagent, a weaker oxidizing agent than Benedict’s reagent, can only oxidize monosaccharides.arrow_forwardAn unknown reducing disaccharide is found to be unaffected by invertase enzymes. Treatment with an a@galactosidasecleaves the disaccharide to give one molecule of d-fructose and one molecule of d-galactose. When the disaccharideis treated with excess iodomethane and silver oxide and then hydrolyzed in dilute acid, the products are2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methylgalactose and 1,3,4-tri-O-methylfructose. Propose a structure for this disaccharide, and give itscomplete systematic name.arrow_forward
- Human milk contains the oligosaccharide 2′-fucosyllactose (α-Lfucose-(1→2)-β-D-galactose-(1→4)-Dglucose), which may help protect the newborn from bacterial infections. Draw the structure of this oligosaccharide.arrow_forwardThe anticoagulant heparin is a polysaccharide that contains alternating residues of -D- glucuronic acid-6- sulfate and N-sulfo-D-glucosamine-6sulfate connected by (1 B 4)- glycosidic linkages. Draw a part of heparin that shows one each of the two residues.arrow_forwardTrehalose is a nonreducing disaccharide (C12H22O11) isolated from the poisonous mushroom Amanita muscaria. Treatment with an a@glucosidase converts trehalose to two molecules of glucose, but no reaction occurs when trehalose is treated with a b@glucosidase.When trehalose is methylated by dimethyl sulfate in mild base and then hydrolyzed,the only product is 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methylglucose. Propose a complete structure andsystematic name for trehalose.arrow_forward
- Trehalose, C12H22O11, is a nonreducing sugar that is only 45% as sweet as sugar. When hydrolyzed by aqueous acid or the enzyme maltase, it forms only d-glucose. When it is treated with excess methyl iodide in the presence of Ag2O and then hydrolyzed with water under acidic conditions, only 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-d-glucose is formed.
