In the reaction of benzil reduction with sodium borohydride, the stander melting point of meso-hydrobenzoin is 137 Celsius. However, in the lab, the meso-hydrobenzoin's melting range is 133.4-136.2 Celsius. Below is the IR of benzil and hydrobenzoin. 1)Comment on the major features in each IR spectrum that indicate that the transformation was successful. 2) Base on the lab's melting range and the IR spectrum, comment on the purity of your product. benzil Thu Nov 29 14:55:20 2018 (GMT-05:00 Number of...
EXPERIMENT 11 THE MICROSCALE REDUCTION OF BENZIL WITH SODIUM BOROHYDRIDE INTRODUCTION Oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions occur in concert. One substance undergoes oxidation by donating electrons to another substance that is then reduced. In organic chemistry certain rules are followed in determining whether a particular substrate is being oxidized or reduced. Oxidation: The loss of hydrogen and/or gain of oxygen by a substrate Reduction: The gain of hydrogen and/or loss of oxygen by a substrate When an organic substrate is reduced, the...

How many moles of propiophenone and sodium borohydride will you use in your experi- ment (show calculations)? Which of these two is the limiting reagent? For full credit, you must explain why it is limiting. 2. Draw a detailed reaction mechanism for the reaction (Make sure your mechanism...
Give a balanced equation for the reaction that includes both the oxidizing agent (benzil) and reducing agent (NaBH4). In other words I do not want to see 4 R2C=O. Give a brief definition/explanation of reduction in terms of gain/loss of hydrogens, oxygen, and electrons. Sodium borohydride can be used in ethanol solutions to rapidly reduce aldehydes and ketones at room temperature. Even though lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH4) is much more reactive than sodium borohydride (NaBH4) it can’t be used to reduce aldehydes...
Identify the three stereoisomers of the hydrobenzoin product using R and S descriptors. If there are three isomers, why are there only two product lines in the prelab table? compound mol. wt.

4) sketch what a developed and resolved TLC plate of a mixture of benzil, benzoin and hydrobenzoin might look like. Discuss the relative Rf values on your sketched plate 5) In the reduction of benzil with sodium borohydride, 3 compounds are possible: meso-hydrobenzoin, racemic-hydrobenzoin and racemic-benzoin (resulting from incomplete reduction of benzil). Discuss how you determined (or will go about determining) which of these products was produced. Discuss evidence from melting points, TLC and IR spectra.
Which solvent did the reduction of benzil happen the fastest upon the addition of sodium borohydride? Solvents: methane, ethane, 2-propanol I know methane is the fastest, but why? (does it have something to do with it being most polar?)
