Vedclass · Answer

(D) In an alkaline medium,sugars undergo a process known as Lobry de Bruyn-van Ekenstein transformation. This process involves the rearrangement of the sugar molecule,leading to the formation of an equilibrium mixture of isomers (such as glucose,fructose,and mannose). Therefore,sugars are unstable in alkaline media due to this rearrangement.

Reactions with sugars are easy in acidic or neutral media,but not in alkaline media,because in alkaline media,sugars undergo.............
