When CH ₂= CH - COOH is reduced with LiAlH ₄ , the compound obtained will be
Options
- ACH ₂= CH - CH ₂ OH
- BCH ₃- CH ₂- CH ₂ OH
- CCH ₃- CH ₂- CHO
- DCH ₃- CH ₂- COOH
Correct answer
A. CH ₂= CH - CH ₂ OH
Step-by-step solution
LiAl ^ H ₄ can reduce COOH group and not the double bond CH ₂= CH - COOH CH ₂= CH - CH ₂ OH LAH
