    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.
