What does the following reaction of glucose with HI elucidates about the structure of glucose?
On prolonged heating with red P & HI, it forms n-Hexane, suggesting that all the six carbon atoms are linked in a straight chain.
Which of the following reactions of glucose can be explained only by its cyclic structure? (a) Glucose forms pentaacetate (b) Blucose reacts with hydoxylamine to form an oxime (c) Pentaacetate of glucose does not reach with hydroxyl amine (d) Glucose is oxidised by nitric acid to gluconic acid
Write the reactions of D-glucose which can't be explained by its open chain structure. How can cyclic structure of glucose explain these reactions?
What does the following reaction shows about the structure of glucose?
