What is the product obtained in the reaction? CH ₃- CH = CH - CH ₂- CHO [ (ii) H ₃ O ₄⁺] (i) product
Options
- ACH ₃- CH = CH - CH ₂- CH ₂- OH
- BCH ₃- CH = CH - CH ₂- COOH
- CCH ₃- CH ₂- CH ₂- CH ₂- CHO
- DCH ₃- CH ₂- CH ₂- CH ₂- CH ₃
Correct answer
A. CH ₃- CH = CH - CH ₂- CH ₂- OH
Step-by-step solution
The advantage of LiAlH ₄ is that it does not reduce the isolated olefinic bond and hence, it can reduce unsaturated aldehydes and ketones to unsaturated alcohols.
