Vedclass · Answer

(A) Glucose $(CHO(CHOH)_4CH_2OH)$ on oxidation with strong oxidizing agents like dilute nitric acid $(HNO_3)$ gets oxidized to a dicarboxylic acid known as saccharic acid (or glucaric acid). The reaction is: $CHO(CHOH)_4CH_2OH + [O] \xrightarrow{	ext{Dil. } HNO_3} COOH(CHOH)_4COOH$ Thus,dilute $HNO_3$ is the correct reagent.

Which reagent oxidizes glucose to saccharic acid?
