Which of the following statements regarding methyl-β-L-glucopyranoside is correct?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Methyl-β-L-glucopyranoside is a glycoside, and it will undergo hydrolysis to the cyclic hemiacetal in dilute aqueous acid. This is because glycosides are easily hydrolyzed in the presence of acid or enzymes, which breaks the glycosidic bond and releases the sugar molecule. This reaction is called hydrolysis, and it is a common method for breaking down carbohydrates.

Option A is incorrect because methyl-β-L-glucopyranoside is a non-reducing sugar. 
Option B is incorrect because methyl-β-L-glucopyranoside is an acetal and does not undergo mutorotation in aqueous base.
Option C is incorrect because Ag/CH3COOH does not react with carbohydrates. 
Option E is incorrect because Kiliani-Fischer chain elongation is a reaction used for synthesizing aldoses and not glycosides.
