MCQ
Fructose reduces Tollen's reagent due to
- Aasymmetric carbons
- Bprimary alcoholic group
- Csecondary alcoholic group
- ✓enolisation of fructose followed by conversion to aldehyde by base
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
enolisation of fructose followed by conversion to aldehyde by base
d
Fructose is a ketose, in the presence of a base, it is converted into-a mixture of glucose and manmose in an enolisation followed by conversion to aldehyde, both of which contain the $-CHO$ group and hence reduce Tollen's
reagent to give silver mirror test.
