    Glycerol on oxidation with bismuth nitrate produce:

    A)  glyceric acid      

    B)         glyoxalic acid

    C)  oxalic acid          

    D)         meso oxalic acid                                        

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  C{{H}_{2}}OH \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  C{{H}_{2}}OH \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CHOH}}}\,\xrightarrow[Bismuth\,\,nitrate]{[O]}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  COOH \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  COOH \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}}\,\] Thus, glycerol produce meso-oxalic acid.
