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

A

Laevorotatory

B

Meso compound

C

Dextrorotatory

D

Racemic mixture

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

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