Question

The reagents with which glucose does not react to give the corresponding tests/products are
A. Tollen's reagent
B. Schiff's reagent
C. HCN
D NH2OH
E. NaHSO3
Choose the correct options from the given below:

• A. B and C
• B. A and D
• C. B and E
• D. E and D

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

B and E

Answer 2

- Glucose reacts with Tollen's reagent (A), HCN (C), and $NH_2OH$ (D) to form characteristic products.
- It does not react with Schiff's reagent (B) because it is a mild oxidizing agent, and glucose is a reducing sugar.
- Sodium bisulfite ($NaHSO_3$) (E) does not react with glucose.
Thus, glucose does not react with B and E.
