The presence of Carbonyl group in glucose is confirmed by its reaction with hydroxylamine. Identify the type of carbonyl group present and its position. Give a chemical reaction in support of your answer.
Answer
View full question & answer→The carbonyl group present in glucose is aldehyde and the $C_1$ atom.
Glucose gets oxidised to six $-$ carbon carboxylic acid $($gluconic acid$)$ with $\text{COOH}$ group at the $\ce{Cl}$ atom on reaction with a mild oxidising agent like bromine water.
This indicates that the carbonyl group is present as an aldehydic group
