How do you explain the presence of following in open structure of glucose ?
(a)
all the six carbon atoms are in a straight chain.
(b)
five -OH groups which are attached to different carbon atoms.
(c)
an aldehyde group.
Marking-scheme solution
(a)
Glucose on reaction with HI forms n-hexane confirms straight chain of
six carbon atoms. /
(b)
Glucose on reaction with (CH3CO)2O forms pentaacetate as a stable
compound and confirms the presence of $\displaystyle 5$-OH group. /
(c)
Glucose on reaction with Br2 water gives Gluconic acid and confirms the
presence of aldehydic group. /
