Q1 / 180 · COMEDK 2023 (Memory Based) · Chemistry
Which of the following hexoses will form the same osazone when treated with excess phenyl hydrazine?
- AD-glucose, D-fructose and D-galactose
- Correct answerBD-glucose, D-fructose and D-mannose
- CD-glucose, D-mannose and D-galactose
- DD-fructose, D-mannose and D-galactose
Solution
D-glucose, D-fructose and D-mannose form the same osazone treated with excess phenyl hydrazine because they differ only Ist and 2 nd carbon atoms which are transformed to the same form.

They form same osazone

They form same osazone

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
