1A. The product from your reaction has a sharp melting point,
indication that it is either meso-hydrobenzoin or a racemic mixture
of the (1R, 2R) and (1S, 2S) enantiomers. Why is it not possible
that your product is either the (1R, 2R) or the (1S, 2S) pure
enantiomer?

Sodium Borohydride Reduction Reaction
1. Dissolve 600 mg of your carbonyl compound in 3 mL of
methanol. Cover the flask with aluminum foil when not adding
reagents or taking TLC samples to keep any water from getting in.
2. Cool your flask to 0° C using ice/water.
3. Allow to stir in the ice for 2 minutes then slowly add 0.4g of
NaBH4 to your solution, then remove from ice bath and stir at room
temperature.
