Question
Sucrose scientific formula is ____.
Answer
Sucrose scientific formula is glucose-α-1,2-fructose.
Point of Confusion: Sucrose is more
accurately called a 1,2' linkage instead of 1,1' linkage as mentioned in EK book, because the anomeric carbon on
fructose is numbered 2, not 1 like glucose. So, since we are used to anomeric carbon being the 1st carbon, they named it as such but beware, fructose is unique!
