Pd/C and NaBH4 yielding ketones and aldehydes??? A little bit contradictory to all I've learn so far.... What a…? Pd/C and NaBH4 yielding ketones and aldehydes???

I never liked bashing people or papers. Oh, what the fuck, why am I explaining this. Like I said, this does not happen to me often. I never liked bashing people or papers.

They do it on 0.2 mmol scale - this is 0.4 mmol of Na, or 9.2 mg. I imagine this amount puts on a peroxide coat pretty rapidly. Moreover, they add in two 0.2 mmol (4.6 mg) portions, each cut up in small pieces "under nitrogen". I wonder if lithium content could influence how fast it gets oxidized. Lithium reacts with nitrogen, sodim doesn't. Perhaps the lithium trace aids in corroding the metal piece, exposing it further to oxygen... anyone? I don't know how to react anymore. The chemistry works. We all know how to read between the lines, but it's just... wrong to leave the discussion between the lines. No mention of by-products.
