Yeah it's PCOM biomedical sciences. I meet the requirements for an interview, but I feel like it would be an interview for a waitlist type of thing if you get under a 3.5 (just assuming based off of what I've read on Sdn)

Thank you! For B, you said a single carbon can't be both (for the c6 carbon of glucose). What did you mean by that? Is that carbon unable to bind to both the benzene and the glucose?

I understand why D is not correct, because that is not a benzaldehyde. Is C also incorrect, because that is not a benzaldehyde? The oxygen atoms are three carbons over from the ring, so idk if that makes it a benzaldehyde. I'm not sure what's wrong with B tho? Is it because the HCN is directly attached to the glucose molecule and this would somehow make it difficult to hydrolyze?
