Synthesis of Alcohols
Reduction of Aldehydes and Ketones Common reducing agents and conditions:
NaBH4 (sodium borohydride)alcohol, ether, or H2O as solvent
(1) LiAlH4 (lithium aluminum hydride =LAH)
(2) H3O+
Raney Nifinely divided H2-bearing form of Nialso reduces C=C to alkane

Synthesis of Alcohols
Attack of R - on an aldehyde or ketone produces an alkoxide ion which can be protonated to form an alcohol.

Synthesis of Alcohols
Addition of RMgX or RLi to Esters forms tertiary alcohol with two
identical R groupsidentical R groups come from the organometallic reagent

Synthesis of Alcohols
The addition of RMgX or RLi to an ester occurs in two steps:
R- displaces an alkoxide group, forming a ketone
A second R- attacks the carbonyl, forming the alcohol (after protonation)
