Show the products that result from hydrolysis of amygdalin in dilute acid. Can you suggest why amygdalin might be toxic to tumor (and possibly other) cells?

Hello, everyone. Today, we have the following problem show the products when salicin undergoes acid catalyzed hydrolysis. So, sugars in the form of ailes are known as glycosides, they are known as glycosides. And this is because they exist as stable aces rather than he aces. And so like other aces, they hydroly in aqueous acid to a free sugar. So they hydroly to a free sugar and an alcohol. So in this given reaction, if we're gonna have an acid hydrolysis of this glycoside known as sein, we're going to yield a sugar free sugar molecule in that molecule is going to be this right here and this is known as glucose. So we are going to draw that out, making sure that we include all of the relevant groups as well as that free sugar molecule, which is glucose. We're gonna draw the remaining structure here. We're going to have our alcohol group on this carbon and then our hydroxy group on this carbon there. And so with that, we have shown the products when this salicin undergoes acid catalyst hydrolysis. Overall, I hope this helped. And until next time
