In aqueous solution, glucose remains as-...

In aqueous solution, glucose remains as-

A

only in open chain form

B

only in pyranose form

C

only in furanose form

D

in all three forms in equilibrium

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

The six-membered cyclic form is generally reffered to as the 'pyranose' form, and the five-membered cyclic form is called the 'furanose' form.
Closure of the ring creates a chiral center at `C-1` resulting in two diastereomers (sometime called ''anomers'') the alpha `(alpha)` and beta `(beta)` forms
