How do you explain the presence of an aldehydic group in a glucose molecule?

Options

  1. AThe aldehydic group is formed through an oxidation reaction involving glucose.
  2. BGlucose is derived from the reduction of an aldehyde compound.
  3. COn mild oxidation with bromine water, glucose gives gluconic acid which is a six carbon carboxylic acid. This
  4. DGlucose undergoes a dehydration reaction to produce the aldehydic group.

Correct answer

C. On mild oxidation with bromine water, glucose gives gluconic acid which is a six carbon carboxylic acid. This

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (C) On mild oxidation with bromine water, glucose gives gluconic acid which is a six carbon carboxylic acid. This indicates that the carbonyl group present in glucose is an aldehydic group.
