Vedclass · Answer

(D) In reaction $(D)$,the product formed is $2-	ext{hydroxy}-2-	ext{methylpropanenitrile}: CH_3-C(OH)(CN)-CH_3$. This molecule is achiral because the central carbon atom is bonded to two identical methyl $(-CH_3)$ groups. $A$ racemic mixture consists of equal amounts of two enantiomers,which requires the molecule to be chiral. Since the product is achiral,it cannot exist as a racemic mixture. In reactions $(A)$,$(B)$,and $(C)$,the products formed are chiral and result in racemic mixtures.
