The correct answer is:
\( \left(C_{2} H_{5}\right)_{2} O \) and \( \mathrm{NaBH}_{4} \)
The reaction involved is
$2 N a H+B_{2} H_{6}^{(A)\left(C_{2} H_{5}\right)_{2} O}$ (B) $2 N a B H_{4}$
The compound (B) is sodium borohydride ( \( \mathrm{NaBH}_{4} \) ) which is a reducing agent in many organic syntheses.
$2 N a H+B_{2} H_{6}^{(A)\left(C_{2} H_{5}\right)_{2} O}$ (B) $2 N a B H_{4}$
The compound (B) is sodium borohydride ( \( \mathrm{NaBH}_{4} \) ) which is a reducing agent in many organic syntheses.
