How many asymmetric carbon atomsa re created during the complete reduction of benzil (PhCOCOPh) with LiAIH_(4)? Also write the number of possible steroisomers in the product. |

Answer» Solution :`PH-underset(O)underset(||)(O)-underset(O)underset(||)(O)-Phoverset(LiAIH_(4))rarrPh-underset(OH)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|*)(C)-underset(OH)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|*)(C)-Ph` Thus, TWO symmetric CARBON atoms are CREATED in the reduction product. there are THREE stereoisoemers of the reduction production.
