Vedclass · Answer

(D) When $\alpha-D-(+)$-glucose is dissolved in water,it undergoes mutarotation.This process involves the conversion of $\alpha-D-(+)$-glucose into an open-chain structure,which then cyclizes to form $\beta-D-(+)$-glucose.At equilibrium,the solution contains a mixture of both $\alpha-D-(+)$-glucose (approx. $36\%$) and $\beta-D-(+)$-glucose (approx. $64\%$),with only a negligible amount of the open-chain form.Therefore,the major constituents present in the solution are $\alpha-D-(+)$-glucose and $\beta-D-(+)$-glucose.

If $\alpha-D-(+)$-glucose is dissolved in water and kept for a few hours,the major constituent$(s)$ present in the solution is (are)
