Ribose and 2-deoxyribose can be differentiated by

Question

Ribose and 2-deoxyribose can be differentiated by (A) Fehling’s reagent (B) Tollens’s reagent (C) Barfoed’s reagent (D) Osazone formation

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Ribose forms osazone with Ph - NH - NH 2 whereas in deoxyribose, one - OH group is missing, due to which, it cannot form osazone. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/ea87999ace055799880240d624d73286-.png" />

Q. Ribose and 2-deoxyribose can be differentiated by

Fehling’s reagent

Tollens’s reagent

Barfoed’s reagent

Osazone formation

Ribose forms osazone with $P h - N H - N H_{2}$ whereas in deoxyribose, one $- O H$ group is missing, due to which, it cannot form osazone.

Osazone formation

Ribose forms osazone with Ph−NH−NH2​ whereas in deoxyribose, one −OH group is missing, due to which, it cannot form osazone.
