Vedclass · Answer

(A) sugar is non-reducing if it does not have a free hemiacetal or hemiketal group,meaning both anomeric carbons are involved in the glycosidic linkage.In the structure shown in image $278743-a$ (sucrose),the glycosidic linkage is between the $C1$ of $\alpha-D-glucose$ and the $C2$ of $\beta-D-fructose$.Since both anomeric carbons are involved in the linkage,there is no free hemiacetal group,making it a non-reducing sugar.The other structures $(278743-b, 278743-c, 278743-d)$ contain at least one free anomeric carbon (hemiacetal group),making them reducing sugars.

Structures of four disaccharides are given below. Among the given disaccharides,the non-reducing sugar is:
