The Glycosidic linkage present in sucrose isbetween

  1. A \( C-1 \) of \( \alpha \)-glucose and \( C-2 \) of \( \beta- \) fructose
  2. B C - \( 1 \) of \( \alpha \)-glucose and \( C-4 \) of \( \alpha- \) glucose
  3. C \( C-1 \) of \( \beta \)-galactose and \( C-4 \) of \( \alpha- \) glucose
  4. D \( C-1 \) of \( \alpha- \) glucose and \( C-4 \) of \( \beta \)-fructose
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \( C-1 \) of \( \alpha \)-glucose and \( C-2 \) of \( \beta- \) fructose

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The components of sucrose, that is, glucose and fructose arelinked via an acetal bond formed between \( \mathrm{Cl} \) on the \( \alpha- \)
glucosyl sub-unit and \( \mathrm{C} 2 \) on the \( \beta \)-fructosyl subunit called glycosidiclinkage.
