In the reaction `CH_(3)CHO+HCNtoCH_(3)CH(OH)CN` a chiral centre is produced. This product would be

A

Laevorotary

B

Meso compound

C

Dextrorotatory

D

Racemic mixture

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`CH_(3)CHO+HCNtoCH_(3)overset(**)underset(OH)underset(|)(CH)-CN`
(Both `d` and `l` forms are obtained) hence, product will be a racemic mixture.
