Nitromethane undergoes an aldol type reaction with a racemic mixture of 2-methylcyclohexanone in presence of aqueous NaOH in two steps ( I , II ) to give the product ' P '. The statement/s NOT correct among the following is/are

Options

  1. AThe equilibrium in step I will be more towards the right as water is a stronger acid than nitromethane
  2. BThe carbanion formed in reaction I can be stabilized due to resonance
  3. CThe product formed will be a mixture of four stereoisomers in the form of two pairs of enantiomers
  4. DThe mixture of products formed can be readily dehydrated to give a single product
