C22H22O11

C22H22O11 represents a chemical formula indicating a molecule composed of 22 carbon atoms, 22 hydrogen atoms, and 11 oxygen atoms. This formula is typically associated with disaccharides or glycosides. Without further information, it is impossible to definitively identify the specific compound. However, based on the atomic composition, several possibilities exist within the realm of carbohydrate chemistry.

Disaccharides, formed by the combination of two monosaccharide units (simple sugars) through a glycosidic bond, often have a molecular formula that aligns with C22H22O11 if water (H2O) is removed during the bond formation or if the monosaccharide components are modified. Examples could include derivatives or modified forms of common disaccharides like sucrose, lactose, or maltose where structural modifications may have altered the typical C12H22O11 formula.

Glycosides are molecules in which a sugar is bound to another functional group via a glycosidic bond. The "sugar" part can vary, and the "aglycone" (non-sugar) part can also contribute to the overall molecular formula. Thus, C22H22O11 could represent a glycoside where the sugar portion combined with the aglycone contributes to this atomic composition.

Because multiple structural arrangements are possible with the same molecular formula (isomers), additional data such as structural information (e.g., connectivity of atoms, ring structures), physical properties (e.g., melting point, optical rotation), spectroscopic data (e.g., NMR, IR, mass spectrometry), or the compound's source or method of synthesis would be necessary for its precise identification.
