Because if they are submerged in the solvent, they would dissolve! This would prevent them from seperating and not allow you to actually record anything
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
