The correct statement(s) about the following sugars X and Y is (are)

The correct statement(s) about the following sugars XX and YY is (are) The correct statement(s) about the following sugars X and Y is (are)

Options

  1. AXX is a reducing sugar and YY is a non-reducing sugar
  2. BXX is a non-reducing sugar and YY is a reducing sugar
  3. Cthe glucosidic linkages in XX and YY are α\alpha and β\beta, respectively
  4. Dthe glucosidic linkages in XX and YY are β\beta and α\alpha, respectively

Correct answer

B. XX is a non-reducing sugar and YY is a reducing sugar

Step-by-step solution

XX has acetal linkage and YY has hemiacetal linkage. Carbohydrate with hemiacetal linkage are reducing sugars and carbohydrate with acetal linkage are non reducing sugars. XX is α\alpha anomer and YY is β\beta-anomer of D(+)D(+) glucose.
