Question

2. What was Evans' reaction? What did he do?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Evans outwitted the Governor in the end by escaping again. This was due to the fact that he knew the prison officer who handcuffed him and the driver who was driving the van.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Evans–Tishchenko reaction is the diastereoselective reduction of β-hydroxy ketones to the corresponding 1,3-anti diol monoesters. The reaction employs a Lewis acid, often samarium iodide, and an aldehyde. It was first described in 1990 by David A. Evans and Amir Hoveyda, as a development of the well-known Tishchenko reaction discovered in 1906.[1] The Aldol–Tishchenko reaction provides another potential route to 1,3-diol monoester products
