Chapter 16, Problem 71P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Identify the similarity in reducing action of NaBH4 and NADH towards aldehydes and ketones.

Concept Introduction:

Carbonyl group of aldehyde and ketone is reduced to alcoholic group using common reducing agents like NaBH4.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Hydration of aldehydes and ketones can be catalyzed by acid or base. Bases catalyze hydration by: protonating the carbonyl oxygen making the carbonyl group more electrophilic employing hydroxide ion, which is a better nucleophile than water making the carbonyl group less electrophilic shifting the equilibrium position of the reaction to favor products
Describe the acidity of different carboxylic acids and predict the products obtained when they react with strong bases.
Phenols are aromatic rings with an alcohol functional group attached directly to the ring. These compounds have unique acidity and solubility for alcohol groups. Predict the solubility of this phenol in water.
