Oxidation of D-glucose with bromine water gives

Agluconic acid
Bsorbitol
Cn-hexane
Dsaccharic acid

Answer: A

Bromine water is a mild oxidant that oxidises only the CHO group to COOH, giving gluconic acid. Saccharic acid needs nitric acid, which oxidises both ends.

Glucose, C6H12O6, is classified as NEET level
Prolonged heating of glucose with HI gives n-hexane. This shows that glucose has NEET level
alpha-D-Glucopyranose and beta-D-glucopyranose differ in configuration at NEET level
Glucose reacts with acetic anhydride to give a pentaacetate. This indicates that glucose contains NEET level
The number of stereocentres in the open-chain form of D-fructose, HOCH2-CO-(CHOH)3-CH2OH, is JEE Main level
Glucose reduces Tollens reagent but does not give the Schiff test or form an addition product with NaHSO3. The best explanation is that JEE Main level
