aligned CH ₂= CH - CHO ? CH ₂= & CH & - CH ₂- OH aligned Suitable reagent for conversion of following reaction?
Options
- ANaBH ₄
- BNi / H ₂
- CZn / Hg / HCl
- DRed P + Hi
Correct answer
A. NaBH ₄
Step-by-step solution
The suitable reagent for the conversion CH ₂= CH - CHO ? CH ₂= CH - CH ₂- OH is NaBH ₄ . It is a selective reagent and does not reduce carbon-carbon double bond. Thus, unsaturated alcohols can be prepared.
