Based on the m.p. and Rf value, decide whether the product is meso-hydrobenzoin or racemic-hydrobenzoin. Defend your choice.

Answer 1

If we have known Rap value of meso - hydro be- nzain and mecemic - hydoro benzoin'. These products are different Rof value. We can know which is meso-hydrobenzoin os recenie's -hep drobenzoi'n by thousing the distance between centre espat) to con pound dispersion. If distance is same Isame polarity posses both the compound The distance of meso- hy drobenzoin is more than recenic - hydrobenzoin because meso - hydro- bengain is a polar compound and a recemec hydrobenzoin is non-polar compound by stereo chemistry
