Question

Prolonged, severe heating of pure crystalline D-glucose with extreme amounts of Hydrogen Iodide ($HI$) combined with solid Red Phosphorus forcefully yields which of the following primary stable organic products, definitively proving its perfectly straight-chain unbranched carbon skeleton?

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. Heating D-glucose strongly with /Red P functions as an overwhelmingly powerful complete reduction mechanism that ruthlessly strips away all six reactive oxygen atoms, fully saturating the entire carbon skeleton and permanently converting the carbohydrate flawlessly into the straight-chain alkane -hexane.
