Glucose reacts with excess acetic anhydride to form:
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A pentaacetate
Acetylation of glucose with 5 mole of acetic anhydride gives glucose pentaacetate which confirms the presence of five –OH groups.
Since it exists as a stable compound, five –OH groups should be attached to different carbon atoms. Hence option (a) is correct.
