Question

Consider the following reaction

\[\ce{A <-[Br2 - H2O] Glucose ->[HNO3] B}\]

Here, 'A' and 'B' are respectively.

Options

• glucose oxime and saccharic acid

• gluconic acid and saccharic acid

• saccharic acid and sorbitol

• gluconic acid and sorbitol

Answer 1

gluconic acid and saccharic acid

Explanation:

\[\begin{array}{cc}
\ce{COOH}\phantom{............}\ce{CHO}\phantom{...........}\ce{COOH}\phantom{..}\\
|\phantom{..................}|\phantom{................}|\phantom{......}\\
\ce{(CHOH)4 <-[Br2 - H2O] (CHOH)4 ->[HNO3] (CHOH)4}\\
|\phantom{..................}|\phantom{................}|\phantom{......}\\
\ce{\underset{acid}{\underset{Gluconic}{CH2OH}}}\phantom{...........}\ce{\underset{Glucose}{CH2OH}}\phantom{.........}\ce{\underset{acid}{\underset{Saccharic}{COOH}}}\end{array}\]
