Formation of saccharic acid from glucose by oxidation with dilute , confirms
Options
- Aglucose contains five hydroxy groups.
- Bthe presence of aldehyde group in glucose.
- Cglucose contains one primary alcoholic group.
- Dthe six carbon atoms of glucose are in a straight chain.
Correct answer
C. glucose contains one primary alcoholic group.
Step-by-step solution
Oxidation of glucose with dilute yields saccharic acid, which is a dicarboxylic acid.
Dilute is a strong oxidizing agent that oxidizes both the terminal aldehyde group and the terminal primary alcohol group of glucose into carboxylic acid groups.
This reaction specifically confirms the presence of a primary alcoholic group in glucose.
Answer: glucose contains one primary alcoholic group.
Dilute is a strong oxidizing agent that oxidizes both the terminal aldehyde group and the terminal primary alcohol group of glucose into carboxylic acid groups.
This reaction specifically confirms the presence of a primary alcoholic group in glucose.
Answer: glucose contains one primary alcoholic group.
