Homework Statement

I am trying to figure out what is produced from the reaction of sodium borohydride and methyl benzoate. How would you name it? I am really bad at nomenclature...

Homework Equations

NaBH4 + C6H5COOCH3

The Attempt at a Solution

My result is bascially methyl benzoate, but having a hydroxyl group instead of the carbonyl oxygen.

Thanks
