ANSWERS-

  • Anomeric carbons are 2' and 1.
  • Sucrose is NON-REDUCING sugar, because does not has any hemiacetals.

NOTE- Anomeric carbons are ones which were part of the carbonyl group in the straight-chain structure.

To identify reducing sugars simply check if -OH group is attached to anomeric carbon.Sucrose has no OH group hence is non-reducing.
