Treatment of `(+)-` glucose with `HIO_(4)` gives results that confirm its aldohexose structure. What product should be formed, and how much `HIO_(4)` should be consumed.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Since in glucose there are five `-Oll` groups so five moles of `HlO_(4)` are consumed giving main product formic acid and formaldehyde as shown below :
`"Glucose"+5HlO_(4) to 5HCOOH+HCHO`.

alpha -glucose is oxidized by HIO_(4) more rapidly than its beta -anomer at the 1-2 bond.

Compound AC_5H_(10)O_4 , is oxidized by Br_2 - H_2O to the acid, C_5H_(10)O_(5) . (A) Forms a triacetate (Ac_(2)O) and is reduced by HI to n-pentane. Oxidation of (A) with HIO_(4) gives, among other product, 1 molecule of CH_2O and 1 molecule of HCO_(2)H . What are the possible structures or (A) and how could you distinguish between them?
