Further reduction proceeded when the reaction was carried out under reflux in tetrahydrofuran to give disulfide and thiophenol derivatives via sulfinic acid. Furthermore, sulfonamides were reduced with sodium borohydride by heating directly to give sulfide, disulfide and thiophenol derivatives, and diphenyl sulfone was reduced under similar conditions to give thiophenol and biphenyl. Keywords reduction; sodium borohydride; aromatic sulfonyl chloride; sulfonamide; sulfone; aromatic sulfinic acid; disulfide; sulfide; thiophenol Sodium borohydride (NaBH4) itself is a relatively mild reducing agent which is extensively used for the selective reduction of the carbonyl group of ketone, aldehyde and (carboxylic) acid halide derivatives.

BROWN AND LOTHROP SMITH During summer vacations, part of my school expense was earn­ ed as a purchaser of non-ferrous scrap metal for a small Chicago smelter. In such purchasing, it is very necessary to know some­ thing of the general composition of the metal. For example, in buying soldered articles, it is of vital importance to know whether the solder is high in tin or lead, and whether it contains antimony or bismuth. Other purchasers to whom I have talked have report~ ed the same difficulty. It is common practice in the purchase of metal from large smelt­ ers, to take the vendor's word for the composition, as the only al­ ternatives are either an expensive analysis by a commercial labor­ atory, or the establishment of a laboratory by the small foundry.

  • Reduction of Vanillin to Vanillyl Alcohol
    Reduction of Vanillin to Vanillyl Alcohol. Background In this lab you will reduce vanillin (4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde) with sodium borohydride (NaBH4) to produce vanillyl alcohol (4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl alcohol), scheme 1. After isolating the product, you will determine its melting point, determine the isolated yield of the reaction and discuss how NMR may be used to verify the reaction.

Vanillin is an aromatic compound that can be isolated from the cured fruit of Vanilla planifolia. It is mostly used in foods (killer French toast) and perfumes (Ode de Keibler). However, most commercial vanilla flavoring is derived from the lignin of wood pulp, yummm... We will be using vanillin as a starting material for the production of vanillyl alcohol, a compound that can serve as a valuable intermediate in the production of novel flavorings and perfumes. An excess of sodium borohydride, a convenient and mild reducing agent, will be used as the reductant in this reaction. The experimental apparatus and a list of reagents are provided in figure 1, below. Procedure 1. Place 2g (13.2 mmol) of vanillin in a 25 mL round bottom flask followed by 4 mL ethanol. Add a stir bar, clamp the flask above a stir plate and commence stirring at room temperature to solublize the vanillin. 2. After the vanillin goes into solution, add an REAGENTS ice bath under your flask to cool the solution.
