Answer to Problem 13.53UTC
Solution:
'a'Isomaltose is a disaccharide.
Given: Structure of isomaltose in Haworth projection
a.
Explanation of Solution
Isomaltose is a disaccharide as it contains two monosaccharides i.e.sugar units which are obtained after hydrolysis.
Therefore isomaltose is a disaccharide
b. The monosaccharides in isomaltose are two glucose units.
c. There is C1-C6 (a-a) O-glycosidic link in isomaltose.
Glycosidic link is the bond which connects two monosaccharides through anomeric carbon (a carbon which is coming from carbonyl group and attached with two oxygen atoms). In case of isomaltose, the anomeric carbon i.e. hemiacetal is linked with another sugar moiety through O atom. Thus this is a C1-C6 (a-a) O-glycosidic link.
Therefore, the monosaccharides in isomaltose are two glucose units and there is C1-C6 O-glycosidic link.
d. The given structure is an a-isomer of isomaltose.
As the OH group in the anomeric carbon is downward i.e. below the plane, so it is a-anomer (a-isomer of isomaltose).
Therefore the given structure is an a-isomer of isomaltose
e. Isomaltose is a reducing sugar
Isomaltose is a reducing sugar as it is capable of reducing Tollen’s reagent and Fehling solution. All the monosaccharides (aldoses) are reducing sugars along with some disaccharides. A disaccharide (as for example isomaltose) which has one anomeric carbon involved in glycosidic linkage but other anomeric carbon is free then it is able to reduce Tollen’s and Fehling solution.
Thus, isomaltose though a disaccharide is a reducing sugar.
- Isomaltose is a disaccharide.
- The monosaccharides in isomaltose are glucose units.
- The glycosidic link in isomaltose is C1-C6 (a-a) O-glycosidic link.
- The given structure is an a-isomer of isomaltose
- Isomaltose is a reducing sugar.

- टे Predict the major products of this organic reaction. Be sure to use wedge and dash bonds when necessary, for example to distinguish between different major products. ☐ ☐ : ☐ + NaOH HO 2 Click and drag to start drawing a structure.arrow_forwardShown below are five NMR spectra for five different C6H10O2 compounds. For each spectrum, draw the structure of the compound, and assign the spectrum by labeling H's in your structure (or in a second drawing of the structure) with the chemical shifts of the corresponding signals (which can be estimated to nearest 0.1 ppm). IR information is also provided. As a reminder, a peak near 1700 cm-1 is consistent with the presence of a carbonyl (C=O), and a peak near 3300 cm-1 is consistent with the presence of an O–H. Extra information: For C6H10O2 , there must be either 2 double bonds, or 1 triple bond, or two rings to account for the unsaturation. There is no two rings for this problem.
