In the partial reduction by NaBH4 of HPK (Hajos-Parrish ketone),the reaction proceeds only to one of the ketones, and the reagentapproaches from one of its carbonyl planes, and therefore only onealcohol is selectively obtained. Draw all compounds that can begenerated by NaBH4 reduction and explain why the reaction hasproceeded selectively.
