Ketones are readily reduced to secondary alcohols by reaction with sodium
borohydride. The aim of this experiment is to determine the time required to
effect
the complete conversion
of the ketone, benzophenone to
diphenylmethanol at room temperature. This investigation may be achieved
by isolating and analyzing the reaction product after different reduction times.
Infrared spectroscopy affords a convenient method of analysis; by comparing
the IR spectrum of the crude reaction product at different time intervals one
would expect to see the intensity of the hydroxyl absorption peak increase
relative to that of the original carbonyl peak. From this you can deduce the
optimum time for the reduction process at room temperature.
Procedure
Note the "reduction time" that the demonstrator assigns to your group.
Different groups will be assigned different times, eithert = 2.5 minutes, 10
minutes or 30 minutes.
Add benzophenone (1g, 0.005mol) and ethanol (10ml) into a 250ml conical
flask and swirl until it dissolves.
In a separate small beaker make a solution of sodium borohydride (250mg) in
water (2ml).

Prepare a mixture of iced water (80ml) containing 2M hydrochloric acid (20ml)
in a 250ml beaker and store it on an ice bath.

solution in one go to the benzophenone solution in the conical flask.
Immediately start timing and when you get to your assigned time (x minutes)

layer in a conical flask. Replace the aqueous

and re-extract with a second fresh aliquot of diethylether (50ml). Discard the
spent aqueous layer and combine the ether layer in the separating funnel.
Wash the ether layer with a fresh aliquot of distilled water (50ml), remove the
washing and transfer the organic layer into a clean 250ml conical flask. Dry
the organic layer over anhydrous magnesium or sodium sulphate. Filter off
the drying agent through a fluted filter paper and collect the filtrate directly in a
round bottomed flask (placed on a cork ring).

Remove the ether solvent by rotary evaporation under reduced pressure
(consult the demonstrator about this technique).
The groups need to record the IR spectra of the starting material and the
crude products from each of the different reduction times. Compare and
contrast the spectra and comment upon the optimum time needed to effect
reduction under the reaction conditions used.
