When glucose reacts with bromine water, the main product is
When glucose reacts with bromine water, the main product is
acetic acid
saccharic acid
glyceraldehyde
gluconic acid
Solution
When glucose react with bromine water, then it undergoes oxidation reaction to form glucoinc acid as a product. The reaction is as follows:
\(\mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{OH}(\mathrm{CHOH})_4 \mathrm{CHO}+[\mathrm{O}] \xrightarrow[\mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{OH}(\mathrm{CHOH})_4 \mathrm{COOH}]{\mathrm{Br}_2 / \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}}\)
Hence, the correct option is (d).
