1. Deduce the structure of isomaltose explaining your reasoning, a disaccharide, from the following data: a. Hydrolysis of one mole of isomaltose by an acid or a-glucosidase gives two moles of D-glucose b. Isomaltose is a reducing sugar c. It is oxidized by bromine water to isomaltonic acid. Methylation of the acid and subsequent hydrolysis yield 2,3,4,6-tetra-0-methyl-D-glucose and 2,34,6-tetra-O-methyl-D -gluconic acid d. Methylation of isomaltose itself, followed by hydrolysis gives 2,3,4,6-tetra-0-methyl-Dglucose and 2,3,4-trimethyl-D-glucose
