Deduce the structure of a disaccharide from the following information and find its NAME in your textbook or notes. Explain how you deduced the structure.
• Complete hydrolysis yields only D-glucose.
• It is hydrolyzed by a-glucosidase but not by ß-glucosidase.
• It does not reduce Cu2+ to Cu+.
(Incidentally, this disaccharide is the "blood sugar" found in the hemolymph of most insects; it has been suggested that it may act as a natural cryoprotectant, the polyhydroxy compound preventing damage to insect tissues from freezing and thawing.)
*Please show your work... Reasonable information which lead you to your conclusion)
