Chemical reaction for benzil reacting with ethanol
Accepted Answer
Benzil (C₁₄H₁₀O₂) does not undergo a direct reaction with ethanol (C₂H₅OH) under typical conditions. Benzil is a diketone, and ethanol is an alcohol. These functional groups are not typically reactive with each other. However, benzil can react with other reagents in the presence of ethanol as a solvent or catalyst.
