Account for the following:
There are 5 OH groups in glucose
Advertisements
उत्तर
Acetylation of glucose with 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.
