methanol. CH2O > The hydride forms a bond with the anti bonding orbital of the carbonyl carbon and oygen pi bond, which breaks, THe filled antibond orbital, is then a sigma bond, and occured during reduction via a HYDRIDE acting as a nucleophile. THIS leaves CH3O- A methoxide, which is extremely reactive, and upon work up, forms an alcohol. METHANOL.
