Given below are two statements: one is labelled as
Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R)
Assertion (A) : Ketoses give Seliwanoff's test faster than Aldoses .
Reason (R):Ketoses undergo β-elimination followed by formation of furfural.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
Seliwanoff's test is a differentiating test for Ketose and aldose. This test relies on the principle that the keto hexose are more rapidly dehydrated to form 5-hydroxy methyl furfural when heated in acidic medium which on condensation with resorcinol, Cherry red or brown red coloured complex is formed rapidly indicating a positive test
