Consider the following reaction:
Explain, using a combination of mechanism and text, why thereduction of 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanone with NaBH4 produces moreof the trans alcohol.
H3C Н.С CH3 3,3,5-trimetilciclohexanona NaBH4 CH₂OH O'C H.C CH3 HC OH + trans-3,3,5-trimetilciclohexanol (83%) Н.С H3C CH3 OH cis-3,3,5-trimetilciclohexanol (17%)
