Statement 1: Fructose can give Tollens test even though it does not have an aldehyde group.
Statement 2: When reacted with base fructose can undergo rearrangement to produce an aldehyde group.
(JEE mains memory based shift-1 23/01/2025)
Statement 1 is true and statement 2 is false
Statement 1 is true because fructose can give the Tollens’ test due to its ability to form an aldehyde group in an alkaline medium.
Statement 2 should be: When reacted with a base, fructose undergoes tautomerization to form an aldehyde group.
The reagents with which glucose does not react to give the corresponding tests/products are
A. Tollen's reagent
B. Schiff's reagent
C. \(\mathrm{HCN}\)
D. \({\mathrm{NH}}_{2}\mathrm{OH}\)
E. \({\mathrm{NaHSO}}_{3}\)
Choose the correct options from the given below:
[NEET 2024]
B and E
Glucose (being an α‐hydroxy aldehyde in equilibrium)
-
does give Tollen’s test (A), react with HCN (C) and form an oxime with NH₂OH (D).
-
It typically does not respond to Schiff’s reagent (B) or form a stable bisulphite adduct (E).
Hence, B and E are the reagents with no characteristic reaction.
