In its ring structure, D-glucose has no aldehyde group, it still gives an aldehyde test with Fehling solution ? Explain.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Structure of D-Glucose**: - D-glucose primarily exists in two forms: an open-chain form and a cyclic (ring) form. The cyclic form is more stable and is predominantly found in solution. 2. **Cyclic Structure of D-Glucose**: - In its cyclic form, D-glucose forms a six-membered ring (pyranose form) through the reaction between the aldehyde group and one of its hydroxyl groups. This results in the formation of a hemiacetal, which does not have a free aldehyde group. ...
