STANDARD Chemistry Carbohydrates MCQ Question
D(+)-glucose reacts with hydroxylamine and yields an oxime. The structure of the oxime would be
CH = NOH | H - C - OH | HO - C - H | HO - C - H | H - C - OH | CH₂OH
CH = NOH | H - C - OH | HO - C - H | H - C - OH | H - C - OH | CH₂OH
CH = H | HO - C - H | H - C - OH | HO - C - H | H - C - OH | CH₂OH
CH = NOH | H - C - OH | HO - C - H | HO - C - H | H - C - OH | CH₂OH
Correct Answer
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.
