Which of the following reactions of glucose can be explained only by its cyclic structure ?

Answer»

Glucose FORMS pentaacetate.
Glucose reacts with hydroxylamine to form an oxime
Pentaacetate of glucose does not react with hydroxylamine.
Glucose is oxidised by NITRIC acid to gluconic acid.

Solution :DUE to the absence of OH group at `C_(1)`, cyclic structure of glucose pentaacetate cannot revert to open chain aldehydic from. Hence, it cannot form an oxime.
