How Much Sodium Borohydride Solution Is Needed for Compound B Reduction?

[lostinphysics44]

please help fast! NaBH4 reduction...

Homework Statement

Compound B [structure shown below] was reduced with sodium
borohydride. The student used 1.1015g of Compound B. She prepared the
sodium borohydride solution by dissolving 1.0085g of sodium borohydride in
sufficient solvent to prepare 17.00mL of solution. Calculate the volume of the
sodium borohydride solution required to reduce Compound B.

Homework Equations

compound B is a 7 member carbon ring, with C=O bonds in the 1,3,6 positions ont he ring. what i don't get is what the overall reaction is, so i can get the equation and do the stoichiometry. i know that NaBH4 will add a H to each oxygen but i really don't get where to go from there. thanks for your help.

Then that's where you need to start your investigation. You need to research the mechanism of borohydride reductions (BTW, it doesn't add H to oxygen) and go from there.
