11. Consider the reaction shown below, What isthe magent ther mus swearry out the transformation, and what is the gunneral name of the prolast obtained? warm, dilute nitric acid, aldaris acid bromine water at pH- 6, aldaric acid water at 6, aldonic acid warm, dilute nitric acid, aldonieseid pH"Explanation / Answer
Bromine water mildly acidic at pH = 6, selectvely oxidizes the aldehyde (-CHO) group to carboxylic acid(-COOH group), but not - CH2OH group. Hence, bromine water oxidizes the above aldose to monocarboxylic acid, called aldonic acid. Dilute nitric acid is a stronger oxidizing agent than bromine water, oxidizes both the - CHO group and the terminal - CH2OH group of the aldose to -COOH groups forming a dicarboxylic acid called as aldaric acid
