Abstract
The enthalpies of reduction of aldehydes and ketones to the corresponding alcohols have been determined by measuring the enthalpies of reaction of the carbonyl compounds and of the alcohols with lithium triethylborohydride in triglyme. The enthalpy of reduction of ethyl acetate to ethanol was determined in the same fashion. Enthalpies of formation of the carbonyl compounds were derived from the reduction data. The trends in the ΔH f values for a series of aldehydes and of ketones were examined, and the ΔH f values also were compared with the predictions derived with the MM3 molecular mechanics procedure
