Choose the correct statement(s) among the following.
- B \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CHO}\) on reaction with HCN gives racemic mixture
- D \(\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{NOH}\) shows geometrical isomerism
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{NOH}\) shows geometrical isomerism
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
These are cis and trans isomers not enantiomers (Thus, false). (b) \(CH_{3}CHO\) on reaction with HCN gives racemic mixture of cyanohydrin (Thus, true).
