Give reactions of glucose with hydrogen bromide and hydrogen iodide
Answers
My book (NCERT India) states that n-hexane is formed when glucose is heated in the presence of hydrogen iodide. That is, the following reaction takes place:
C6H12O6+HI−→ΔC6H14
This seems a bit strange to me because I only know of three possibilities that can occur when a compound containing hydroxyl groups is treated with a strong acid:
A substitution reaction, where all the −OH groups are replaced by −I
A dehydration reaction, where H2O molecules would be eliminated and it would end up with few double bonds.
Formation of an ether.
