Study Notes
Glycosidic Bonds
- A glycosidic bond is formed when the anomeric hydroxyl of one sugar reacts with a hydroxyl of another compound.
Oligosaccharides and Polysaccharides
- The condensation products of 2 to 10 monosaccharide units are called oligosaccharides.
- Oligosaccharides are composed of 2 to 10 monosaccharide units.
Disaccharides
- A disaccharide is a type of carbohydrate composed of two monosaccharide units.
- Examples of disaccharides include sucrose, lactose, and maltose.
- Glucose is not an example of a disaccharide.
Reactions
- The reaction between methanol and the anomeric OH on glucose produces a methyl glucoside.
- The product of the reaction between methanol and the anomeric OH on glucose is a methyl glucoside.
Glycosidic Bonds Formation
- A glycosidic bond is formed between the anomeric carbon of one sugar molecule and a hydroxyl group of another sugar molecule or another compound.
