D(+)-glucose reacts with hydroxylamine and yields an oxime. The structure of the oxime would be

A

CH = NOH | H - C - OH | HO - C - H | HO - C - H | H - C - OH | CH₂OH

B

CH = NOH | H - C - OH | HO - C - H | H - C - OH | H - C - OH | CH₂OH

C

CH = H | HO - C - H | H - C - OH | HO - C - H | H - C - OH | CH₂OH

D

CH = NOH | H - C - OH | HO - C - H | HO - C - H | H - C - OH | CH₂OH

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The reaction of D(+)-glucose with hydroxylamine forms an oxime by replacing the carbonyl group with a C=N-OH group. The structure of the oxime retains the stereochemistry of the glucose molecule.
