- C. Trehalose and isomaltose are both dimers of glucose. However, they have considerably different reactivities. Concisely explain why these differences are observed. OH HO но но. HO HO OH Но- он но OH HO НО trehalose isomaltose 1. Isomaltose is a reducing sugar while trehalose is not. 2. Trehalose is very resistant to acid hydrolysis while isomaltose can be acid-hydrolyzed with ease.arrow_forwardDichlospiroheptane [(a) does (b) does not] have a plane of symmetry; it is [(a) chiral (b) not chiral] A. a,a B. b,b C. a,b D. b,aarrow_forwardExplain the solubility behavior of each compound in water with relevance to their STRUCTURE. c.

(A). Alpha anomers are more common than beta anoomers. (B). Two monosaccharides can form a disaccharide and oxygen. (C). Polysaccharides with alpha or beta glycosidic linkages have the different properties. (D). Disaccharides can be cyclic or acyclic.arrow_forwardA. Give your comment(s) on the following questions below: 1. Are all chiral molecules enantiomers? Why or why not? 2. What is the difference between enantiomers and diastiomers ? 3. What are the differences between stereoisomers, structural isomers and constitutional isomers?arrow_forward
- 1) When synthesising potential peptide drugs, it is often necessary to use unnatural amino acids. It is essential that we know the stereochemistry of these unnatural amino acids. Below are two line structures of two unnatural amino acids. Draw the S--enantiomer of each of these structures. + H₂N COO CH₂Br مشرق N.arrow_forward36.
