Next, 1g of sodium borohydride was carefully added to the solution and the mixture was allowed to stand for 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes, the solution mixture was gently heated to a boil, once boiling of the mixture had been achieved, it was allowed to cool. Next, the mixture was poured into 100mL of an ice-water mixture and them was filtrated in a Büchner funnel. The product was then recrystallized from an ethanol-water mixture. The solution was allowed to cool and crystals began to form. The product was left to dry for a week and then the boiling point and an IR spectrum were
