Which of the following statements are true about the benzoin reaction ? A. `overset(Θ)(CN)` attacks at the `(C=O)` group of (A).B. `overset(Θ)(CN)` attacks at `(C=O)` group of (B).C. The major product formed is: D. The major product formed is:

Answer» Correct Answer - A::C
More EDG means more negative charge density on the C of `(C-H)` group and consequentyl more easily the `H^(o+)` ion is lost. Order of EDGs:
`Me ("three H.C. structures") gt Et ("two H.C. structures") gt i-Pr ("one H.C. structure") gt Ph ("structure") gt Ph ("standard")`
Decreasing order of `H^(Θ)` donor.
`underset(("Best"))(b)gt(c )gtunderset(("Least"))((d) gt (a))`
