Abstract

The progress of two microscale reactions, the reduction of cyclohexanone with sodium borohydride and the photochemical formation of benzopinacol, was monitored, qualitatively, using FT-IR. The disappearance of the carbonyl peak at 1700 cm^-1 was used to tell when either reaction was complete.
