(a)
Interpretation:
Write a structural formula for the principal organic product formed by treating the following compound with NaBH4 followed by H2O
Concept Introduction:
Reduction is the process in which hydrogen is added to the compound.
NaBH4 is a reducing agent, it behave rich source of H- ions during the reduction. The hydride ion is added to a carbonyl carbon and an alkoxide ion is formed as an intermediate which on hydrolysis forms an alcohol.
