Title: Glucose and Hydrazine..
Post by: biochémo on March 25, 2014, 04:54:51 PM
Hello
Could anybody tell me why doesn't Glucose react with Hydrazine ( NH2-NH2 ) while it does react with Phenylhydrazine ( Ph-NH-NH2 ) ??

And thanks in advance  :)

You must show an attempt first, according to the rules of the forum.  Maybe a good place to get started is for you to identify the nature of the functional groups that react with phenylhydrazine.
