Question
Fructose has a specific rotation of (-92.4°). An aqueous solution of fructose has an observed angle of rotation of (-27.7°) when placed in a polarimeter tube 10 cm long. How much amount of fructose is dissolved in 100 ml of aqueous solution?

Answer: A,B,C
💡 Solution & Explanation
keto acids, gem-dioic acids and , unsaturated acids decarboxylates on simple heating. (D) is however a keto acid but in transition state, there will be a double bond at bridge head position which is not stable. So, (D) will not decarboxylate on heating.
