Aldehydes are usually more reactive toward nucleophilic substitutions than ketones because of both steric and electronic effects. Why is LiAlH4 a stronger reducing agent than NaBH4? But LiAlH4 is a very strong reducing agent than NaBH4 because the Al-H bond in the LiAlH4 is weaker than the B...
What is the comparative reactivity and hazards of NaBH4 compared to LiAlH4? Compare the different results when they are added to water, ethyl acetate and methanol. If a substance has a large Rf value, what does it tell you about the attraction o...
