Q. Which of the following doesn’t form an oxime?
A) Glucose
B) Glucose pentaacetate
C) Arabinose
D) Galactose
Explanation
(b)
Glucose penta-acetate doesn’t form an oxime because the glycosidic $–OH$ group is not free since it is involved in ring formation. As a result, it cannot get converted into the open chain form required for the formation of oxime.
