Question
**Instruction:**

Draw the major organic product for the reaction shown.

**Chemical Reaction:**

The reaction starts with an aldehyde, represented by the molecular structure on the left. The structural formula consists of a carbonyl group (C=O) with a hydrogen atom bonded to one side and an isopropyl group (a branched carbon chain) on the other side.

**Reagents:**

1. NaBH₄ (Sodium borohydride)
2. H₂O (Water)

**Procedure:**

1. Sodium borohydride (NaBH₄) is used as a reducing agent to convert the aldehyde into the corresponding alcohol by adding hydrogen to the carbonyl group.
2. The reaction is then quenched with water, facilitating the completion of the reduction to form the alcohol.

**Diagram:**

On the right side, an editing interface is displayed with options to draw, select, and erase chemical structures. The icons and buttons allow for manipulation of chemical drawings, indicating that the user needs to sketch the expected alcohol product acknowledging the reduction process.
