Question

Trehalose is a disaccharide that can be obtained from yeasts, fungi, sea urchins, algae, and insects. Deduce the structure of trehalose from the following information: 1. Acid hydrolysis of trehalose yields only D-glucose. 2. Trehalose is hydrolyzed by α\alpha -glucosidase but not by β\beta -glucosidase enzymes. 3. Trehalose is a nonreducing sugar; it does not mutarotate, form a phenylosazone, or react with bromine water. 4. Methylation of trehalose followed by hydrolysis yields two molar equivalents of 2,3,4,6 -tetra-O-methyl-D-glucose.
