What is the product of the following reaction with NaBH4?
Understand the Problem
The question asks to determine the product of the given reaction. The starting material is reacted with NaBH4. NaBH4 is a reducing agent that will reduce carbonyl groups (C=O) to alcohols (C-OH). The chloro group will not be affected since it is not easily reduced by NaBH4. The ester groups (R-COOR') will also be reduced to alcohols.
Answer
The final answer is (D)
The final answer is (D)
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is (D)
More Information
NaBH4 is a reducing agent that selectively reduces ketones, aldehydes, and acyl chlorides to alcohols. Esters are not reduced by NaBH4.
Tips
It is important to know the functional groups that NaBH4 can reduce.
