To enumerate the reactions of D-Glucose that cannot be explained by its open-chain structure, we need to analyze its properties and behavior in different chemical tests. Here is a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understanding the Structure of D-Glucose D-Glucose is a monosaccharide that can exist in two forms: an open-chain (linear) structure and a cyclic structure (pyranose form). The open-chain form contains an aldehyde group (CHO) at one end. ### Step 2: Identifying the Reactions 1. **2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine (2,4-DNP) Test**: - In the open-chain structure, D-Glucose should theoretically react with 2,4-DNP to form a hydrazone. However, D-Glucose does not give this test, indicating that it does not exist predominantly in the open-chain form in solution. ...
