POSTLAB QUESTIONS 1. Compare and contrast lithium aluminum hydride and sodium borohydride. Why was NaBH4 used instead of LiAIH? 2. The reduction of benzil yields three products. Draw the structure of these products and with the use of a reaction mechanism explain how these products come about. (Hint: R and S configuration) POSTLAB QUESTIONS 1.
