The product of reduction of ethyl 4-oxobutanoate with sodium borohydride in ethanol at room temperature for 30 minutes is ethyl 4- hydroxybutanoate .

Sodium borohydride is a relatively selective reducing agent  Ethanolic solutions of Sodium borohydride reduces aldehyde , and ketone , in the presence of acid chloride , ester , epoxide , lactones , acids , nitriles , nitro groups.

The sodium borohydride does not reduce ester group because sodium borohydride is not strong enough and the electrophilicity at carbony carbon of ester is not more as compare toaldehyde , and ketone

The product of reduction of ethyl 4-oxobutanoate with sodium borohydride in ethanol at room temperature for 30 minutes is ethyl 4- hydroxybutanoate .

The Synthesis Reaction of aluminum (Al) and iodine (I) forms a new, more complex
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Aluminum iodide (AlI₃)

Explanation:

The synthesis reaction of aluminum (Al) and iodine (I) can be illustrated as shown below:

Aluminium exhibit trivalent positive ion (Al³⁺)

Iodine exhibit univalent negative ion (I¯)

During reaction, there will be an exchange of ion as shown below:

Al³⁺ + I¯ —> AlI₃

Thus, we can write the balanced equation for the reaction as follow:

Al + I₂ —› AlI₃

There are 2 atoms of I on the left side and 3 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of AlI₃ and 3 in front of I₂ as shown below:

Al + 3I₂ —› 2AlI₃

There are 2 atoms of Al on the right side and 1 atom on the left side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of Al as shown below:

2Al + 3I₂ —› 2AlI₃

Thus the equation is balanced.

The product on the reaction is aluminum iodide (AlI₃)
