The two main types of bonds formed between atoms are ionic bonds and covalent bonds. An ionic bond is formed when one atom accepts or donates one or more of its valence electrons to another atom. A covalent bond is formed when atoms share valence electrons.

Let’s say you have 3 UV active spots in the crude material and co-spot TLC plate. One has the same Rf value as the starting mate

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Answer: (1R,2S) / (1S, 2R) , (1R,2R) / (1S, 2S)

Explanation:

Sodium borohydride reduction of benzoin will give four possible stereo isomers out of which are (1R,2S) - (1S, 2R) isomers and (1R,2R) - (1S, 2S) isomers which are known as enantiomers.

In general enantiomers show single spot in the TLC as they do not show any difference in Rf value (i.e) (1R,2S) - (1S, 2R) isomers show only one spot although they are two compounds and also (1R,2R) - (1S, 2S) isomers also show one spot. That is the reason why you are observing two spots in the TLC ( of reaction mixture) other than starting materilal.
