Can someone explain why Glucose cannot exist like this? Me as GCSE students wonder all bonds number matched in this compound

Is it even possible though?

The structure must be ai generated. Why else would there be a free -NH2 group lying outside and what are those H in the cyclohexane rings.

MMFF Geometries. Most stable conformer has all OH's aligned so H-bonds form a band of 5-membered rings around the tube.

(They had a heck of a time trying to add the -OH bonds in back, without overlapping something in front. I think they just gave up.)

Seems pretty complex

This is actually a thing

This can actually be synthesized, but "explodes violently at room temperature" (as expected). Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentazenium_tetraazidoborate
