Glucose reacts with conc.HNO$_3$ (Nitric acid) to give
Glucose reacts with conc.HNO$_3$ (Nitric acid) to give
Show Hint
To remember the products of glucose oxidation:
- Mild oxidizing agent (e.g., Bromine water): Only the aldehyde group is oxidized $\rightarrow$ Gluconic Acid.
- Strong oxidizing agent (e.g., Conc. Nitric acid): Both the aldehyde and primary alcohol groups are oxidized $\rightarrow$ Saccharic Acid.
- Mild oxidizing agent (e.g., Bromine water): Only the aldehyde group is oxidized $\rightarrow$ Gluconic Acid.
- Strong oxidizing agent (e.g., Conc. Nitric acid): Both the aldehyde and primary alcohol groups are oxidized $\rightarrow$ Saccharic Acid.
