B(OH)3 + NaOH → Na[B(OH)4] (aq).
Then addition of which of the following proceeds the reaction in the forward direction.
Then addition of which of the following proceeds the reaction in the forward direction.
Options
A.Glecerol
B.Mannitol
C.Catachol
D.Ethanol
Solution
cis-diols form very stable complex with [B(OH)4]-,
Thus removing it from solution
HB(OH)4 + 2
⇋ 
+ H+ + 4H2O.
