Which of the following disaccharide will not reduce Tollen's reagent ?

Answer»

<P>P
Q
P and Qboth
None of these

Solution :In (Q), it could be found that both the pyranose rings are attached through their REDUCING GROUP, hence it will not be hdyrolyssed, and it cannot reduce TOLLEN's reagent. So (Q) is not a reducing sugar, whereas in (P) one ring is hemiacetal which can be hydrolysed therefore it will be hydrolysed in solution and can reduce Tollen's reagent.
