STRUCTURE OF GLUCOSE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Glucose reacts with hydroxylamine to form ____
A
oxime
B
cyanohydrin
C
bisulphite adduct
D
none of these
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -. Generally hydroxyl amine reacts with carbonyl carbon and forms respective oxime as a product. Glucose also reacts with hydroxyl amine due to the presence of the aldehyde functional group in D(+)-glucose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glucose reacts with hydroxylamine to form an oxime and adds a molecule of hydrogen cyanide to give cyanohydrin. These reactions confirm the presence of a carbonyl group (>C=0) in glucose.

Detailed explanation-3: -D(+)-glucose reacts with hydroxyl amine and yields an oxime. The structure of the oxime would be. No worries!

Detailed explanation-4: -Glucose oxime | C6H13NO6-PubChem.

Detailed explanation-5: -Oximes have the structure X/Y/C= N―OH, in which X and Y are hydrogen atoms or organic groups derived by removal of a hydrogen atom from an organic compound. Because most oximes are solids with characteristic melting points, they are useful in identifying liquid aldehydes and ketones.
