Question

Which of the following statements is not true about glucose?

• A. It is an aldohexose
• B. On heating with $HI$/ $Red$ $P$, it forms n-hexane
• C. It is present in furanose form
• D. It does not give 2,4-DNP test

Answer 1

The correct option is C It is present in furanose form

Glucose on prolonged heating with $HI$/ $Red$ $P$ gives n-hexane.
It exists in pyranose form.
It does not respond to 2,4-DNP test as the pyranose form does not have a free carbonyl group.
