Benzoin can be reduced with reagents such as nabh4 what


1. Benzoin can be reduced with reagents such as NaBH4. What stereochemical products are possible if you are starting with a enantiomerically pure sample of benzoin? What if you are starting with a racemic mixture?

2. In the experimental procedure, it was mentioned that when benzoin is added to sodium hydroxide, a purple solution develops. What is the structure of this purple product? Why might it be so highly colored?
