Q1 FREE PREVIEW
PYQ

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)

a

Both Statement 1 and 2 are true and statement 2 is the correct explanation of statement 1

b

Both Statement 1 and 2 are true but statement 2 is not the correct explanation of statement 1

c

Statement 1 is true and statement 2 is false

d

Both statement 1 and 2 are false

✓ Correct answer: c)

Statement 1 is true and statement 2 is false

Explanation

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.

Q2 FREE PREVIEW
PYQ

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]

a

E and D

b

B and C

c

A and D

d

B and E

✓ Correct answer: d)

B and E

Explanation

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.

Q3
