So the actual question I have to answer asks me to show the reaction of progesterone with excess sodium borohydride in methanol.
I know this reagent will reduce ketones to alcohols, but in this reaction, will both of the ketones be reduced? Progesterone has a ketone on either end, but will the both react with NaBH4 and methanol?
Also, if it only reacts with one of them, how do I know which one?
