NaBH₄ reduces ketones to secondary alcohols. Butan-2-one (CH₃COCH₂CH₃) forms butan-2-ol (CH₃CH(OH)CH₂CH₃).
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Chemistry > Chapter 12: Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acids > Topic: Physical Properties and Nucleophilic Addition Reactions
Butan-2-one (CH₃-CO-CH₂-CH₃) is reduced to butan-2-ol (CH₃-CH(OH)-CH₂-CH₃) using a reducing agent like NaBH₄, which selectively reduces ketones to secondary alcohols.

Propanal (CH₃CH₂CHO) is reduced to propan-1-ol (CH₃CH₂CH₂OH), a primary alcohol, using NaBH₄, which reduces aldehydes to alcohols.
