A) meso compound
B) racemic mixture
C) Leavorotatory
D) dextrorotatory
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
\[C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} || \\ O \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-H+HCN\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}\underset{d\text{ }and\text{ I}-form}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} | \\ OH \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix} CN \\ | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}}\,-H}}\,\] The product consists a asymmetric carbon atom hence it presents in 50% dextrorotatory and 50% leavorotatory forms and therefore product will be a racemic mixture.
