Question

Form the structural name for the following disaccharide by dragging the appropriate terms into the three boxes under the structure.

I know that it is a maltose molecule, but i can't figure out the two base molecules.

Form the structural name for the following disaccharide by dragging the appropriate terms into the three boxes under the structure HO HO c D-glucopyranose a-D-galactopyranose What is its common name? maltose actose sucrose a-D-galactopyranosyl D-galactopyranosyl B-D-galactopyranose e-D-glucopyranose O trehalose cellobiose

Explanation / Answer

This compound is a maltose. A maltose is formed by 1-4 - glycosidic bond between two alpha-D-glucose subunits.

While writing structural alpha-D-glucose is written as alpha-D-glucopyranose

Hence the first subunit is written as alpha-D-glucopyranosyl and the second subunit is written as  alpha-D-glucopyranose

Hence the complete structural name is

alpha-D-glucopyranosyl - (1 --->4) - alpha-D-glucopyranose
