Reagent(s) which can be used to bring about the following transformation is(are)


Reagent(s) which can be used to bring about the following transformation is(are)

Options

  1. ALiAl{H}_{4}inin{\left({C}_{2}{H}_{5}\right)}_{2}O
  2. BBH3B{H}_{3} in THFTHF
  3. CNaBH4NaB{H}_{4} in C2H5OH{C}_{2}{H}_{5}OH
  4. DRaney Ni/H2Ni / {H}_{2} in THFTHF

Correct answer

C. NaBH4NaB{H}_{4} in C2H5OH{C}_{2}{H}_{5}OH

Step-by-step solution

Reagent(s) which can be used to bring about the following transformation is(are)
LiAlH4LiAl{H}_{4} in (C2H5)2O{\left({C}_{2}{H}_{5}\right)}_{2}O, BH3B{H}_{3} in (THFTHF), Raney  Ni/H2Ni / {H}_{2} either can reduce all functional groups or can reduce some of the functional groups of the compound given above in the reactant side. But, NaBH4NaB{H}_{4} is an example of selective reducing agent. It cannot reduce, Reagent(s) which can be used to bring about the following transformation is(are) (ester group) , Reagent(s) which can be used to bring about the following transformation is(are) (carboxylic acid group) , Reagent(s) which can be used to bring about the following transformation is(are) (epoxide group). But reduces −CH=O- CH = O (aldehyde group) into −CH2OH(1oalcohol)- C{H}_{2}OH\left({1}^{o}alcohol\right).
