On oxidation with a mild oxidising agent like $${Br}_{2}/{H}_{2}O$$, the glucose is oxidised to?

Asaccharic acid
Bglucaric acid
Cgluconic acid
Correct Answer
Dvaleric acid

Solution

On oxidation with a mild oxidising agent like $${Br}_{2}/{H}_{2}O$$, the glucose is oxidised to six carbon carboxylic acid (gluconic acid). This indicates that the carbonyl group is present as an aldehydic group. $$CHO-{(CHOH)}_{4} C{H}_{2}OH \xrightarrow{{Br}_{2} \; water} \underset{\text{Gluconic acid}}{COOH-{(CHOH)}_{4}-C{H}_{2}OH}$$
