The correct Answer is:
To determine which compounds show mutarotation, we need to understand the concept of mutarotation and the structural characteristics of the compounds listed. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Mutarotation**: - Mutarotation is the change in the optical rotation of a solution as it equilibrates between different anomers (isomers that differ at the anomeric carbon) of a sugar. This phenomenon occurs in sugars that have a free hydroxyl (-OH) group at the anomeric carbon. 2. **Identifying the Compounds**: - We will analyze each compound listed in the question to check if they have a free -OH group and if they end with "ose". 3. **Analyzing Each Compound**: - **(A) Cellobiose**: - Structure: 4-O-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-D-glucopyranose - Ends with "ose" and has a free -OH group. - **Conclusion**: Shows mutarotation. - **(B) Maltose**: - Structure: 4-O-(alpha-D-glucopyranosyl)-D-glucopyranose - Ends with "ose" and has a free -OH group. - **Conclusion**: Shows mutarotation. - **(C) Lactose**: - Structure: 4-O-(beta-D-galactopyranosyl)-D-glucopyranose - Ends with "ose" and has a free -OH group. - **Conclusion**: Shows mutarotation. - **(D) Gentiobiose**: - Structure: 6-O-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-D-glucopyranose - Ends with "ose" and has a free -OH group. - **Conclusion**: Shows mutarotation. - **(E) Sucrose**: - Structure: alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-beta-D-fructofuranoside - Ends with "ose" but does not have a free -OH group due to the presence of a glycosidic bond at the anomeric carbon. - **Conclusion**: Does not show mutarotation. - **(F) Methyl alpha-D-galactopyranoside**: - Does not end with "ose" and is a methyl glycoside, which means it does not have a free -OH group at the anomeric carbon. - **Conclusion**: Does not show mutarotation. - **(G) alpha-D-allopyranose**: - Ends with "ose" and has a free -OH group. - **Conclusion**: Shows mutarotation. - **(H) alpha-D-glucopyranose**: - Ends with "ose" and has a free -OH group. - **Conclusion**: Shows mutarotation. - **(I) alpha-D-fructofuranose**: - Ends with "ose" and has a free -OH group. - **Conclusion**: Shows mutarotation. 4. **Final List of Compounds Showing Mutarotation**: - Cellobiose - Maltose - Lactose - Gentiobiose - alpha-D-allopyranose - alpha-D-glucopyranose - alpha-D-fructofuranose ### Summary: The compounds that show mutarotation are: - Cellobiose - Maltose - Lactose - Gentiobiose - alpha-D-allopyranose - alpha-D-glucopyranose - alpha-D-fructofuranose
