Glucose when reduced with HI and red phosphorus gives
- A \(n\)-hexane
- B \(n\)-heptane
- C \(n\)-pentane
- D n-octane
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(n\)-hexane
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Glucose on complete reduction with HI and red P finally gives \(n\)-hexane. This indicates that it contains a straight chain of six carbon atoms.
