JEE Advance - Chemistry (2021 - Paper 1 Online - No. 11)
Given :

The compound(s), which on reaction with HNO3 will give the product having degree of rotation, [$$\alpha$$]D = $$-$$52.7$$^\circ$$ is (are)

The compound(s), which on reaction with HNO3 will give the product having degree of rotation, [$$\alpha$$]D = $$-$$52.7$$^\circ$$ is (are)




Explanation
Monosaccharide oxidises on reacting with HNO3 to form carboxylic acids. Primary alcohols also oxidise to carboxylic acid alongwith aldehyde.
Complete reaction is as follows :

The enantiomer of product (P) has rotation −52.7o . The two enantiomers (c and d) with their reactions are as follows :
