Question
  1. Despite having an aldehyde group, glucose does not give 2,4-DNP test. What does this indicate?
  2. Draw the Haworth structure of a-D-(+)-Glucopyranose.
  3. What is the significance of D and (+) here?

Answer

  1. This indicates that the aldehyde group in glucose is not free.
  2.  
  1. ‘D’ gives the configuration, i.e., the -OH group at C-5 is on the right hand side. (+) sign indicates that the isomer is dextrorotatory.
