In the following reaction of (D)-Glucose, a product P is formed. $(\mathrm{D})\text{-Glucose} \xrightarrow[2.\ \mathrm{H_2O_2, Fe_2(SO_4)_3}]{1.\ \mathrm{Br_2/H_2O}} \mathrm{P}$ Among the following compounds, the one which will give the same product (P) under identical reaction conditions is
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Answer
Answer: B ✓ checked by 4AB · confidence high
Explanation
Br₂/H₂O then H₂O₂/Fe(III) is the Ruff degradation, which removes C-1 and gives D-arabinose from D-glucose; the C-2 epimer D-mannose (b) loses the same carbon and gives the identical product.
