How do you explain the absence of an aldehyde group in the pentaacetate of D-glucose?

Options

  1. AThe pentaacetate of glucose does not react with hydroxylamine indicating the absence of free (—CHO group)
  2. BThe aldehyde group is too bulky to undergo acetylation.
  3. CThe pentaacetate of D-glucose is unstable and decomposes.
  4. DAcetylation of D-glucose affects the aldehyde group.

Correct answer

A. The pentaacetate of glucose does not react with hydroxylamine indicating the absence of free (—CHO group)

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (A) The pentaacetate of glucose does not react with hydroxylamine indicating the absence of free (—CHO group)
