In this video, we discuss the important chemical properties and reactions of Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) from the Biomolecules chapter.
🧪 Important Reactions of Glucose Covered:
Glucose + HI → n-Hexane
➜ Evidence for the straight-chain structure of glucose.
Glucose + Hydroxylamine (NH₂OH) → Oxime
➜ Shows the presence of a carbonyl group.
Glucose + HCN → Cyanohydrin
➜ Important reaction of the carbonyl group.
Glucose + Acetic Anhydride → Glucose Pentaacetate
➜ Evidence for the presence of 5 –OH groups.
Glucose + Bromine Water → Gluconic Acid
➜ Shows the presence of an aldehyde (–CHO) group.
Glucose + HNO₃ → Saccharic/Glucaric Acid
➜ Oxidation of both terminal groups.
Glucose + H₂/Ni → Sorbitol (Glucitol)
➜ Reduction of the carbonyl group.
Glucose + Phenylhydrazine → Glucosazone
➜ Important derivative and identification reaction of glucose.
Glucose + CH₃OH/HCl → Methyl Glucoside
➜ Formation of α and β methyl glucosides.
Glucose + Fehling’s/Tollens’ reagent
➜ Demonstrates the reducing nature of glucose.
