In the absence of water, ophthalaldehyde has the structure shown. Its strong IR absorption is at 1687 cm-1; the proton NMR data are shown by the structure. In the presence of water, a new compound is formed that has a strong IR absorption around 3400 cm-1 and no absortion in the C=0 region. propose a structure of X consistent with this information and suggest how X consistent with this information and suggest how X was formed.

Sodium triacetoxyborohydride, , is a mild reducing agent that reduces aldehydes more quickly than ketones. It can be used to reduce aldehydes in the presence of ketones, such as in the following reaction:

(a) Draw a complete Lewis structure for sodium triacetoxyborohydride.
(b) Propose a mechanism for the reduction of an aldehyde by sodium triacetoxyborohydride.
