Question

All are true or false 

 

 

A) Both LiAlH and NaBH are reducing agents. True or False:  Both reagents contain polar metal-hydrogen bonds. The polarity of the B-H bond is less than the polarity of the Al-H bond, so LiAlH is the weaker reducing agent.

 

B)  Both Ketones are more sterically hindered and Ketones are less electron deficient due to donation from the two alkyl groups

 

C)Organometallic reagents are strong acids that readily donate a proton to water.

 

D)Organometallic reagents contain a carbon atom bonded to a metal.

 

E) The purpose of a silyl ether to protect alcohols from organometallic reagents and other reagents.
