Interpretation: The hemiacetal carbon in
Concept introduction: Carbohydrates are naturally occurring compounds. Carbohydrates are polyhydroxy aldehydes and ketones. Galactose is a aldohexose as it contains six carbon atoms as well as an aldehyde functional group. The molecular formula of galactose
Aldehydes or ketones on reaction with one equivalent of alcohol form hemiacetal and on reaction with two equivalents of alcohol it forms acetals. This is nucleophilic addition reaction. These reactions takes place in presence of acids, commonly
Ethers contain only one alkoxy group on a carbon atom while acetals contain two alkoxy groups on a single carbon atom.
Hemiacetals contains one alkoxy group and one hydroxyl group attached to same carbon atom.

Explanation of Solution
Cyclic hemiacetals can be converted to acetals by treatment with alcohol in presence of acid. The hydroxyl group of hemiacetal is converted to alkoxy group. The

- show the glycosidic linkage of b-D-galactose and b-D-galactose (show drawing)arrow_forwarda) Draw Haworth projections of both - and -anomers of D-fructose. Indicate which carbon is the anomeric carbon.b) Sucrose is a disaccharide made up of a molecule of D-fructose and D-glucose. Draw the structure of sucrose clearly indicating the linkage between the two monosaccharides and its biological significance.c) Tollen’s reagent is a very mild oxidizing agent which normally oxidize aldehydes but not ketones. However, both glucose and fructose give positive results with Tollen’s reagent and are classified as reducing sugars. Explain how fructose can also give positive results with Tollen’s reagent (illustrate using structures).arrow_forwardHow many aldooctoses are possible? How many d-aldooctoses are possible?arrow_forward
- D-Glucose most often exists as a pyranose, but it can also exist as a furanose. Draw the Haworth projection of α-d-glucofuranose.arrow_forwardUsing the cyclic structure (Haworth Formula) of sucrose, encircle the acetal link and explain why it is a non reducing sugar. explain do not copy from google,,,pls type answer if u canarrow_forwardCarbohydrates in nature are only found in D-form L-form or both ?arrow_forward
