Give the products of the following reactions.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the products of a chemical reaction involving the compound present and the reagents NaBH4 (sodium borohydride) and ethanol, followed by hydrolysis (with H3O+). The inquiry requires an understanding of organic chemistry reactions, specifically reduction reactions.
Answer
D is the correct answer: dicyclohexyl methanol.
The final answer is dicyclohexyl methanol.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is dicyclohexyl methanol.
More Information
Sodium borohydride (NaBH4) is commonly used for the reduction of ketones and aldehydes to alcohols. Here it reduces cyclohexanone to dicyclohexyl methanol.
Tips
Ensure the recognition of ketone structure and the function of NaBH4 in reducing ketones to alcohols.
