The disaccharide lactulose consists of a D-galactopyranose subunit and a D-fructofuranose subunit joined by a B-1,4'-glycosidic linkage. After treatment of lactulose with 1. excess CH3I/Ag20, 2. HCI/H20, the D-galactopyranose subunit was found to have one nonmethylated OH group, whereas the D-fructofuranose subunit had two. Draw the structure of a-lactulose.
The disaccharide lactulose consists of a d-galactopyranose subunit and a d-fructofuranose subunit joined by a β-1,4-glycosidic linkage. After treatmentof lactulose with 1. excess CH3I/Ag2O, 2. HCl/H2O, the d-galactopyranose subunit was found to have one nonmethylated OH group, whereas thed-fructofuranose subunit had two. Draw the structure of α-lactulose.
Draw the structure of a carbohydrate with four b-D-glucopyranosyl units connected by b(1®4) glycosidic linkages, with the second unit being connected via an a(1®6) glycosidic linkage by a side chain having two a-D-galactopyranosyl units connected by an a(1®4) glycosidic linkage.
