What is the product of the following reaction?
This question is asking us what the product will be when the reactant has been reacted with . To answer this, we first have to realize that
is a reducing agent. Therefore, we can expect our starting material to be converted into a reduced product. The double bonds in the benzene ring will not be reduced, because this would result in a loss of aromaticity. Rather, the carbon-oxygen double bond as part of the amide functional group will be reduced to give an amine.
