Enumerate the reactions of D- glucose which cant be explained by its open chain structure.

(1) Aldehydes give 2, 4-DNP test, Schiff's test, and react with NaHSO4to form the hydrogen sulphite addition product. However, glucose does not undergo these reactions.
(2) The pentaacetate of glucose does not react with hydroxylamine. This indicates that a free -CHO group is absent from glucose.
(3) Glucose exists in two crystalline forms - ∝ and β. The ∝-form (m.p. = 419 K) crystallises from a concentrated solution of glucose at 303 K and the β-form (m.p = 423 K) crystallises from a hot and saturated aqueous solution at 371 K. This behaviour cannot be explained by the open chain structure of glucose.

Hey !!
The penta-acetate of glucose does not react with hydroxyl amine indicating the absence of free CHO group.
(OR)
Glucose give the characteristic reaction of alcohols and carbonyl group (aldehydes and ketones). However it does not form addition compound with ammonia and sodium bisulphite and does not respond to 2,4 - DNP test and Schiffs test.
GOOD LUCK !!
