Question

Which of the following reagents completely fails to react with D-glucose, contradicting its open-chain structure?

Answer: C

💡 Solution & Explanation

Despite having an aldehyde group, open-chain glucose does not undergo addition reactions with $NaHSO_3$ (Sodium bisulphite) or give a positive Schiff's test because it exists predominantly as a stable cyclic hemiacetal.
