D − glucose → Tollen ′ s reagent A ; D − glucose → Br 2 -water B A and B are:
Options
- Agluconic acid, gluconic acid
- Bglucaric acid, gluconic acid
- Csalt of gluconic acid, gluconic acid
- Dsalt of gluconic acid, glucaric acid
Correct answer
C. salt of gluconic acid, gluconic acid
Step-by-step solution
Tollen's reagent is a mild oxidising agent and easily oxidises the aldehyde group, but can not oxidise the ketone or alcohol group and form salt of gluconic acid. B r 2 / H 2 O is a mild oxidising agent and easily oxidises the aldehyde group, but cannot oxidise the ketone or alcohol group.
