Explanation / Answer

Well here NaBH4 acts as a reducing agent and in this type of reaction these type of reagents should be present in abundance.

In your case you have

No. of moles of Salicylideneaniline = 1.02 / 197.23 = 5.17 m moles

No. of moles of NaBH4 = 0.61 / 37.83 = 16.1 m moles

In these reactions, all of the Salicylideneaniline will not be converted to 2-(Anilinomethyl) phenol.

So there is no limiting reagent.

Its melting point is not availble online although I guess you can find it in some research papers.
