3-Nonanone → 3-Nonanol

참여 물질

반응 단계

20.5 g (144 mmol) of 3-nonanone are initially charged in 200 ml of methanol, 5.45 g (144 mmol) of sodium borohydride are added a little at a time at room temperature and the mixture is stirred overnight. The solvent is removed under reduced pressure and the mixture is then acidified and extracted with dichloromethane. The organic phase is dried over sodium sulphate. Removal of the solvent gives 20 g (96%) of a colourless oil.
