States of Matter

The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for a…

Chemical Reactions and Equations

When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained …

Sodium Borohydride Reduction (continued on the next page): 1. Draw the product of each of the reactions below and give the formula mass to the nearest whole number. ? (1) NaBH (2) acid (1) NaBD4 (2) acid ? 2. In mass spectra, alcohols typically break as shown in equation 8 in chapter 11 (refer to your lab manual). The larger group is generally lost and this gives rise to the base peak in the mass spectrum. For the products of each of the reactions in question # 1, draw the ion corresponding to the base peak for that product and give its mass to charge ratio (m/z). 3. Given the reaction below, calculate how many mg of 1-phenyl-1-butanol that can be produced using 31 mg NaBH4 and an excess of butyrophenone. 4. + NaBH4 OH (after workup with dilute HCI) What signals appeared/disappeared/shifted that indicate that you have your intended product and not starting material? What other impurities are present in your product and how do you know?
