The reduction of ethyl acetoacetate with sodium borohydride is show below. Explain why the product of the reaction does not have two alcohol functional groups.
Simple answer to this question is that NaBH4 is mild reducing agent it only reduces aldehydes and ketones . Given compound is having both ester and ketone functional group so Use of NaBh4 only reduces keton part not the ester one. Instead if we have used LiAlH4 ( lithium aluminium hydride ) it reduces both ester as well as ketone because it is a powerful reducing agent .

Draw the product that results from the following reaction of the substrate with sodium borohydride and ethanol. 12 Question (1 point) Draw the product that results from the following reaction. NaBH4 ethanol
hi, please help me with number 7. thank you EXPERIMENT SEVEN SODIUM BOROHYDRIDE REDUCTION OF ACETOPHENONE HOCH, DISCUSSION The reduction of an aldehyde or ketone with sodium borohydride is straight forward and usually affords a high yield of the alcohol. The usual procedure (and the one employed in this experiment) involves dissolving the borohydride in 95% ethanol and adding the carbonyl compound to this solution. To ensure complete reaction, an excess of sodium borohydride is used. The reaction between sodium...

Do you expect the reduction reaction of camphor using sodium borohydride to yield an equivalent amount of borneol isomers (borneol and isoborneol)? If not, predict which diastereomer would be the major product and show/explain why.
We performed a synthesis of methyl diantilis lab. The first step involved a Sodium Borohydride Reduction of 3-Ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (Ethylvanillin) shown below. The next step of the experiment involved Etherification of 3-ethoxy-4-hydroxylbenzyl Alcohol using one of four alcohols (methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, or 2-propanol). The alcohol I used was methanol. The reaction is predicted below. Below is the NMR sample for my product with the integration and ppm for each peak displayed. Based on this information, answer the following questions. a. Check...
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...
