A kinetic investigation has been carried out on the reduction of some aromatic ketones (acetophenone, 1;2-methoxyacetophenone, 2; 3-methoxyacetophenone, 3; 4-methoxyacetophenone, \(4 ;\) and \(\alpha\)-tetralone, 5 ) by sodium borohydride in the presence of two cationic surfactants (cetyltrimethylam

Abstract
The rates for the reduction of ketones with sodium borohydride are interpreted in terms of two parameters, both derived from force‐field calculations; i.e. the strain difference between alcohol and ketone (Δ strain) and the steric hindrance towards approach of the hydride R. Models for the evaluation of R are discussed. With this approach reduction rates over a range of 10^8^ can be rationalized within a factor of 6–10.
