***Please write a detailed stepwise mechanism of how sodium borohydride reacts with benzophenone to produce diphenylmethanol?***
the following is some information you might need:
4 Reduction of Benzophenon \( \frac{\text { 1. } \mathrm{NaBH}_{4}, \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{OH}}{\text { 2. } \mathrm{HCl}, \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}} \) benzophenone diphenylmethanol \( \mathrm{C}_{13} \mathrm{H}_{10} \mathrm{O} \) \( \mathrm{C}_{13} \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O} \) \( 182.22 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mol} \) \( 184.23 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mol} \)
