C₁ – C₄ α linkage is the bond present in amylose starch.
Explanation:
- Starch is the substance which is polymer of glucose.
- It is found in plants which store excess glucose in form of starch.
- Starch has two types- amylose and amylopectin.
- Amylose is the straight chain variety and amylopectin is the branched chain variety.
- The amylose is formed of polymer of glucose by C₁ – C₄ α linkage.
- Here the hydroxyl group of C1 and hydroxyl group of C4 undergoes dehydration to form an ester bond.
- The structure becomes straight because of the planar nature.
