Identify the carbon atoms of $\alpha$-glucose and $\beta$-fructose forming glycosidic linkage in sucrose.
Identify the carbon atoms of $\alpha$-glucose and $\beta$-fructose forming glycosidic linkage in sucrose.
$\mathrm{C}$ - 1 of $\beta$-fructose and $\mathrm{C}$ - 2 of $\alpha$-glucose
$\mathrm{C}-1$ of $\alpha$-glucose and $\mathrm{C}-2$ of $\beta$-fructose
$\mathrm{C}-1$ of $\alpha$-glucose and $\mathrm{C}-1$ of $\beta$-fructose
$\mathrm{C}-2$ of $\alpha$-glucose and $\mathrm{C}-2$ of $\beta$-fructose
Solution
Structure of sucrose contains glycosidic linkage between - $\mathrm{C}-1$ of $\alpha$-glucose and $\mathrm{C}-2$ of $\beta$-fructose. Aldehyde and ketone groups of both the monosaccharide units are involved in formation of the glycosidic bond.
