Sucrose is not a reducing sugar since

  • it contains no free aldehyde or keto group adjacent to, -CHOH group

  • it is built up of a fructose unit

  • it is optically active

  • it is chemically stable


A.

it contains no free aldehyde or keto group adjacent to, -CHOH group

Carbohydrates which can reduce Tollen's reagent or Fehling solution are called reducing sugars. All the monosaccharides and the disaccharides (except sucrose) are reducing agent.

Sucrose does not have free aldehyde or keto group adjacent to -CHOH group, therefore it fails towards Tollen's reagent and Fehling solution.
