Chapter 17.SE, Problem 29MP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Given that reduction of 2-butanone with NaBH4 yields 2-butanol. Whether the product is chiral and optically active or not is to be stated and explained.

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. Ketones are reduced to 20 alcohols.

To state and explain:

Whether 2-butanol obtained by the reduction of 2-butanone with NaBH4 is chiral and optically active or not.

2) (4 pt) After the reaction was completed, the student collected the following data. Crude product data is the data collected after the reaction is finished, but before the product is purified. "Pure" product data is the data collected after attempted purification using recrystallization. Student B's data: Crude product data "Pure" product data after recrystallization Crude mass: 0.93 g grey solid Crude mp: 96-106 °C Crude % yield: Pure mass: 0.39 g white solid Pure mp: 111-113 °C Pure % yield: a) Calculate the crude and pure percent yields for the student's reaction. b) Summarize what is indicated by the crude and pure melting points.
