Question:medium

Match List-I with List-II.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Show Hint

Different reagents oxidise or derivatise different functional groups of glucose, leading to distinct characteristic products.

  • A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
  • A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
  • A-I, B-III, C-IV, D-II
  • A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
Show Solution

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

To solve this matching problem, we must identify the products formed when glucose reacts with the given reagents. Here's the step-by-step explanation: 

List-IReaction of Glucose withList-IIProduct formed
A.HydroxylamineIV.Glucoxime
B.Br2 waterI.Gluconic acid
C.Excess acetic anhydrideII.Glucose pentaacetate
D.Concentrated HNO3III.Saccharic acid
  1. Hydroxylamine (A): When glucose reacts with hydroxylamine, it forms an oxime known as Glucoxime (IV).
  2. Br2 water (B): The reaction of glucose with bromine water leads to the formation of Gluconic acid (I).
  3. Excess acetic anhydride (C): This reaction results in the formation of Glucose pentaacetate (II), where all hydroxyl groups are acetylated.
  4. Concentrated HNO3 (D): When glucose is treated with concentrated nitric acid, Saccharic acid (III) is formed due to oxidation.

Thus, the correct matching is A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III.
