Reducing Sugars with NaBH4

https://joechem.io/videos/197 for video on jOeCHEM and attached worksheet + solution (below video on jOeCHEM aka the link) In this video, we'll talk about how you can reduce sugars using NaBH4 and H2O, and if that sounds familiar that's because it should! We've used this reaction to reduce ketones and aldehydes as early as OChem I and definitely in OChem II when we talked about carbonyls. So kick back and relax, because this is essentially just a small review.
