Given below are two statements:
| Assertion (A): | β -Glycosidic linkage is present in maltose. |
| Reason (R): | Maltose is composed of two glucose units in which C- 1 of one glucose unit is linked to C- 4 of another glucose unit. |
| 1. | Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason explain the assertion. |
| 2. | Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason does not explain assertion. |
| 3. | Assertion is the correct statement and reason is the wrong statement. |
| 4. | Assertion is the wrong statement and reason is the correct statement. |
Because maltose is composed of two glucose units in which C-1 of one glucose unit is linked to C-4 of another glucose unit.
Hence, Assertion is the wrong statement and reason is the correct statement.
An alpha glycosidic linkage is formed between the carbons with the same stereochemistry. A beta glycosidic linkage is formed between the carbons having different stereochemistry.
