    OChem 2 - LiAlH4 vs NaBH4 - Lab Question

    Thanks for your help! You steered me in the right direction and got me to find the answer. The first step you would use LiAlH4 in THF or an ether, and then you would hydrolyze that in a second step using an aq. acid, (H3O+/H2O)

    I think I figured it out, I could use LiAlH4 with THF or an ether and then quench with H2O.

    Will it reduce the methanol? edit: it should help to know that we haven't covered this material in class yet, unfortunately I got the bad lab schedule. This is due in 1hour and I still can't find the answer. I've been watching videos and reading but I'm still so lost :(.

    First step was NaBH4/methanol and quenching step was NaOH/H2O
