Chapter 12, Problem 55ASP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The major product that would give the above reduction reaction is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The reduction reaction is the addition of the hydrogen atom so only the carbonyl group would be converted to alcohol with the reagent NaBH4 . This is because NaBH4 is a mild reducing agent therefore it cannot reduce ester and can only reduce aldehyde and ketone, functional groups.
