In glucose pentaacetate, how are the five –OH groups attached to carbon atoms?

Options

  1. AThey are attached to the same carbon atom.
  2. BThey are attached to two different carbon atoms.
  3. CThey are attached to three different carbon atoms.
  4. DThey are attached to five different carbon atoms.

Correct answer

D. They are attached to five different carbon atoms.
