experiment of making borneol from camphor (FIGURE-3) is performed in two different methods‚ Sodium Borohydride Reduction and Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley Reduction‚ to compare the relative product ratio of borneol to isoborneol. The concept of reduction and also oxidation‚ the opposite procedure of reduction‚ deals mostly with electron transfer between atoms. It will not be elaborated here‚ but the reduction procedure involved in this experiment is basically adding hydrogens and losing the carbon-oxygen

Sodium borohydride Reduction of Benzil Introduction: The Purpose of this experiment is for the students to learn how to use sodium borohydride to reduce benzil to its secondary alcohol product via reduction reaction. This two-step reaction reduces aldehydes by hydrides to primary alcohols‚ and ketones to secondary alcohols. In order for the reaction to occur and to better control the stereochemistry and yield of the product‚ the metal hydride nucleophile of the reducing agents such as LiH‚ LiAlH4

Experiment 5B: Ketone Reduction Objective: Using sodium borohydride as a reducing agent‚ the ketone 4-tert-butylcyclohexane is reduced to its corresponding alcohol. It is purified through extraction techniques to give the cis and trans diasteromer products. Procedure: The procedure was followed as outlined in Mayo’s book for Experiment 5B with the following modifications: 1. Reagents and Equipment – The reaction will be on a scale of 2X what is described in the text. 2. Reagents and Equipment

Entwistle‚ Maria Amos‚ and Paul Golubic CHEM 0330 Organic Lab 1 Sodium Borohydride Reduction: Diphenylmethanol from Benzophenone 11/16/11 Introduction Redox (shorthand for REDuction-OXidation) reactions are chemical reactions in which the oxidation state (or oxidation number) of atoms has changed. Oxidation can be observed through the loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state by an atom‚ ion or molecule. Reduction describes the gain of electrons or decrease in oxidation state of

The electron transfer reaction between hexacyanoferrate (III) and sodium borohydride resulted in the formation of hexacyanoferrate (II) ion and dihydrogen borate ion which was strongly catalyzed by AuNPs. The redox reaction is described as BH4- + 8 [Fe (CN)6]3- + 3H2O 8 [Fe(CN)6]4- + H2 BO3- + 8H+ The advantage of hexacyanoferrate ion for this redox study is that both oxidation states of iron (+2 and +3) are quite stable with respect to dissociation and hydrolysis
