What happens when sodium Borohydride is treated with Iodine |
|
Answer» iodine is reacting with onesodium BOROHYDRIDE, so you GET borane, sodium iodide, and hydrogeniodide. Then hydrogen iodide is reacting with another sodium borohydride, so you get another borane and another sodium iodide, plus some hydrogen. All that borane is actually the stuff that reduces the ACID to alcohol |
