Hello students, we have to predict the product for the following reaction.
00:07
So here this is a ketone functional group and this is a ester functional group.
00:30
This nabd4, it is a weak reducing agent just like nabh4.
00:37
It can only reduce aldehyde, ketone and acid chloride but not the ester and carboxylic acid.
00:43
Nabh4 can be written as nabh4, so here na plus b minus.
00:59
Similarly, nabd4 can be written as na plus b minus, here d, d, here d and here d.
01:15
So now we will write the mechanism.
01:19
So here nabd4 will attack this compound, that is this will come here and this will go here...
