    Two hexoses form the same osazone, find the correct statement about these hexoses.

    A) Both of them must be aldoses.

    B) They are epimers at \[C-3\].

    C) The carbon atoms 1 and 2 in both have the same configuration.

    D) The carbon atoms 3, 4 and 5 in both have the same configuration.

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    In the formation of osazone, C-1 and C-2 react with phenylhydrazine to form phenylhydrazone. If C-3, C-4, C-5 have same configuration they will form same osazone even if they differ in configuration at C-1 or C-2.
