• Jan 29, 2026 reducing benzil using sodium borohydride lab report bon chain flanked by phenyl groups attached to the carbonyl carbons. Benzil's planar structure and conjugated system impart characteristic UV absorption and crystalline properties, making it a common starting material in organic synthesis and a model compound for reduction stu BY Mekhi Jacobson
