Organic molecules are typically considered to be terrible electrolytes (molecules that dissociate into ions). Because of strong covalent bonds, organics usually stick together. So the answer is "no".

It's impossible to tell without knowing the actual structure, although honestly, I'm having a hard time seeing how something with that formula could even be a legitimate compound, let alone an electrolyte.

A quick Google search reveals that some people mistakenly seem to believe that to be the formula for glucose (it isn't even close; glucose is C6H12O6). If you were one of these people, then glucose is not an electrolyte.
