a) NaBH4
Interpretation:
The product obtained when the compound shown is treated with NaBH4; then with H3O+.
Concept introduction:
All carbonyl compounds, including acids, esters, aldehydes and ketones are reduced by LiAlH4. Acids, esters and aldehydes yield a 10 alcohol upon reduction with LiAlH4, while ketones yield 20 alcohols. The reaction is carried out in ether solution as LiAlH4 reacts violently with water and explodes when heated above 120°C.
Esters will react with two molar equivalents of ethylmagnesium bromide to yield a 10 alcohol.
To give:
The products obtained when the compound shown is treated with NaBH4; then with H3O+.
b) LiAlH4
Interpretation:
The product obtained when the compound shown is treated with LiAlH4; then with H3O+.
Concept introduction:
Aldehydes and ketones can be reduced to alcohols using NaBH4. It reduces the esters very slowly and does not reduce carboxylic acids. The reduction can be carried out in either water or alcohol solution.

The dominant macrostate or configuration of a system is the macrostate with the greatest weight W. Are both statements correct?arrow_forwardFor the single step reaction: A + B → 2C + 25 kJ If the activation energy for this reaction is 35.8 kJ, sketch an energy vs. reaction coordinate diagram for this reaction. Be sure to label the following on your diagram: each of the axes, reactant compounds and product compounds, enthalpy of reaction, activation energy of the forward reaction with the correct value, activation energy of the backwards reaction with the correct value and the transition state. In the same sketch you drew, after the addition of a homogeneous catalyst, show how it would change the graph. Label any new line "catalyst" and label any new activation energy.arrow_forward
