Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The acetal group in the structure of amygdalin molecule should be located.
Concept Introduction:
Carbohydrates are
(b)
Interpretation:
The chiral center in the structure of amygdalin molecule should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Carbohydrates are biomolecules that are composed of certain monomer units, called monosaccharides or sugar molecules. Glucose is one of the simplest monosaccharide which is a polyhydroxy carbonyl compound with molecular formula C6H12O6. It can exist in cyclic and open-chain structure. The cyclic structure of glucose molecule can be further classified as a and β-forms on the basis of the presence of −OH group at anomeric C atom of the molecule.
(c)
Interpretation:
The monosaccharideused to form amygdalin should be determined.
