2. Although both sodium borohydride and lithium aluminum hydride can routinely be used to reduce aldehydes and ketones, sodium borohydride is often the preferred reducing agent whenever it can be used instead, even though lithium aluminum hydride is a much more reactive reducing agent. (i) Explain why lithium aluminum hydride is a more reactive reducing agent than sodium borohydride. Then, briefly (ii) discuss why sodium borohydride is often preferred as a reducing agent and how this impacts procedures in which it is used.
