`C_(6)H_(5)CHO+HCNrarrC_(6)H_(5)CH(CN)OH`
The product would be

A

Racemate

B

Optically active

C

A meso compound

D

Mixture of Diasteromers.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The reaction involves the synthesis of chiral centre. In the lab., the stereospecificity of reaction cannot be controlled. Hence, we get both the enantiomeric forms and such mixture is called Recemic mixture.
