Benzoin is an organic compound with the formula PhCH(OH)C(O)Ph. It is a hydroxy ketone attached to two phenyl groups.

To answer your question,
the balanced oxidation-reduction reaction equation for the oxidation of benzoin by ammonium nitrate is:

2Ph-C(OH)-C(O)-Ph+NH4NO3 --> 2Ph-C(O)-C(O)-Ph + N2 + 3H2O.

I hope this helps and if you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask again.
