Best Answer

Condensation or dehydration bond reaction forming a glycosidic bond. A -H from one sugar reacts with an -OH from the second sugar forming the bond and releasing one H2O molecule.

Note the bonds do not have to be 1-4,eg. in sucrose the glucose is joined 1-2 to a fructose. In maltose the bond 1-4 between two glucoses.

What chemical reaction occurs to form disaccharides?

A disaccharide is formed when two monosaccharides are joined together by a reaction known as a dehydration, or condensation, synthesis. In this type of reaction water is removed, thus the name "dehydration". A new molecule is formed or "synthesized" from the two previously separate ones.
