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.
