Question
What happens when D-glucose is treated with the following reagent?
HNO3
Solution
On being treated with HNO3, D-glucose get oxidised to give saccharic acid.
\[\begin{array}{cc}
\phantom{}\ce{CHO}\phantom{...........}\ce{COOH}\phantom{.}\\
\phantom{.}|\phantom{................}|\phantom{.......}\\
\ce{(CHOH)4 ->[HNO3] (CHOH)4}\\
\phantom{.}|\phantom{................}|\phantom{.......}\\
\phantom{..}\ce{\underset{D-glucose}{CH2OH}}\phantom{........}\ce{\underset{Saccharic acid}{COOH}}\phantom{.}
\end{array}\]
