JEE Main 2026 Chemistry question
Given below are two statements: Statement I: The two cyclic forms of D-(+)-glucose (α and β anomers differing at C1 hydroxyl orientation) are two anomers of D-(+)-glucose. Statement II: The open chain forms of D-glucose and D-fructose contain three similar chiral carbons at C₃, C₄ and C₅.
Answer: (A)
Solution
Both are standard, correct facts about the structures of D-glucose and D-fructose.
