Unlike glucose, neither `alpha` nor `beta`-methyl glucoside reduces Tollens' reagent or Fehling solution. Why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
Glucose is reducing in nature due to the presnece of open chain aldehydic form in equilibrium with cyclic isomers.
Glycoside Cyclic acetal formed by reaction between glucose & `CH_(3)OH`. It exists in two anomeric forms (`alpha` & `beta`). These are stable towards bases & are not hydrolyzed in fehling or Tollen's reagent.

An aromatic organic compound 'A' with formula C_8H_8O gives positive DNP and iodofrom tests. It neither reduces Tollens' reagent nor does it decolourise bromine water. Write the structure of 'A'. 1

A compound [A] has the formula C_(4)H_(8)O_(2) . When reacted with a Grignard reagent, CH_(3)MgBr , it takes up two molecules of it and upon acidification gives an alcohol [B]. The alcohol on reacting with Lucas reagent gives white coludiness on standing for sometime. When the alochol is oxidised, a compound [C] is produced with a pleasant smell. It neither reacts with Tollen's reagent, nor with Fehling's reagent. The compound [A] is
