Draw the products formed (including stereoisomers) when each compound is reduced with NaBH4in CH3OH.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

The products formed when each compound is treated with NaBH4 in CH3OH. are shown below:

Step by step solution

01

Step-by-Step Solution Step 1: Function of  NaBH4

NaBH4 is a strong reducing agent that reduces ketone into secondary alcohol and aldehyde into primary alcohol.

Since chiral alcohol is formed after reduction, hence two kinds of alcohols are formed. They are collectively called enantiomeric alcohols.

02

Mechanism of the reducing action of  NaBH4

In NaBH4 , B-H is weakly polar where the hydride group acts as a nucleophile and can readily attack the carbonyl carbon center to yield alcohol.

Hence, based on the explanations, the products formed when each compound is treated with NaBH4in CH3OH are shown below:
