In this reaction {:(CH_(3)CHO+HCN),(""darr),(CH_(3)CH(OH)CNoverset(H^(+)//OH^(-))rarrCH_(3)CH(OH)COOH):} as asymmetric centre is generated. The acid obtained would be

Answer»

`20% D+ 80% L-`isomer
D-isomer
L-isomer
`50% D + 50% L-`isomer

Solution :`CH_(3)CHO + HCN rarr CH_(3)CHOHCN overset("hydrolysis")rarr underset(D+L"isomer of LACTIC acid")(CH_(3)CHOHCOOH)`
