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.
Answer:
Number of Hydrogen Bond Acceptor atoms = 2
Number of Hydrogen Bond Donor atoms = 1
Explanation:
Hydrogen bond interactions are formed between those molecules which contains partial positive hydrogen atoms bonded covalently to most electronegative atoms like Oxygen, Nitrogen and Fluorine.
When hydrogen is attached to Oxygen, Nitrogen or Fluorine its electron density decreases and gets partial positive charge, this partial positive charged hydrogen atom then makes hydrogen bonding with the most electronegative element (partial negative) of neighbor molecule.
In Acetic acid there are two oxygen atoms hence there are two most electronegative elements therefore, two Hydrogen Bond Acceptor atom and each oxygen atom can accept two hydrogen bonds.
Also, it contains only one Hydrogen atom attached to oxygen atom so it has one Hydrogen Bond Donor atom.
Number of Hydrogen Bond Acceptor atoms = 2
Number of Hydrogen Bond Donor atoms = 1
