Title: Experiment 5B: Reduction of Ketone Using a Metal Hydride
Objective: During this week’s procedure, we will be using a metal hydride reagent, sodium borohydride, in a methanol solvent to carry out the reduction of the ketone, 4-tertbutylcyclohexanone. This will occur through the transfer of a hydride ion from the boron on sodium borohydride to the carbon atom of the carbonyl group of 4-tertbutylcyclohexane. The other…
