Which of the following hexoses will form the same osazone when treated with excess phenyl hydrazine?

  • A
    D-glucose, D-fructose and D-galactose
  • Correct answer
    B
    D-glucose, D-fructose and D-mannose
  • C
    D-glucose, D-mannose and D-galactose
  • D
    D-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. Figure
They form same osazoneFigure

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