Below is a developed TLC plate for a student who was analyzing their reaction and product from the reduction of benzoin reaction (Exp. 9). Which answer choice is likely true about the results of this reaction? S Notes: The "S" lane was the reactant benzoin. The "M" lane was a mixture of what was in the "S" lane and the "P" lane. The "P" lane was theoretically the product (what is present after the reaction is assumed to be over). Since all three lanes only have one spot with the same R, likely the NaBH4 was omitted and so the reaction did not take place at all. The reaction was likely done correctly. The student must have spotted the "M" and "P" lanes twice since there are two spots present in both of those lanes. The reaction is not yet complete, since there is starting material left in the product lane. O The reaction went fully to completion since the product lane only has one spot. O There are two isomers produced, so there is one spot for each isomer. This reaction went to completion. Clear my choice

Question
Below is a developed TLC plate for a student who was analyzing their reaction and product from the
reduction of benzoin reaction (Exp. 9). Which answer choice is likely true about the results of this
reaction?
S
Notes: The "S" lane was the reactant benzoin. The "M" lane was a mixture of what was in the "S" lane and
the "P" lane. The "P" lane was theoretically the product (what is present after the reaction is assumed to
be over).
Since all three lanes only have one spot with the same R, likely the NaBH4 was omitted and so the reaction did not take place at all.
The reaction was likely done correctly. The student must have spotted the "M" and "P" lanes twice since there are two spots
present in both of those lanes.
The reaction is not yet complete, since there is starting material left in the product lane.
O The reaction went fully to completion since the product lane only has one spot.
O There are two isomers produced, so there is one spot for each isomer. This reaction went to completion.
