Identify a final product obtained when Pent-3-enenitrile is treated with followed by acid hydrolysis.
Options
- APent-3-enol
- BPentanoic acid
- CBut-3-enol
- DPent-3-enal
Correct answer
D. Pent-3-enal
Step-by-step solution
The structure of Pent-3-enenitrile is .
DIBAL-H () is a selective reducing agent. It reduces nitriles to imines, which upon subsequent acid hydrolysis yield aldehydes. It does not reduce isolated carbon-carbon double bonds.
Therefore, the group is converted to a group, while the double bond remains intact.
The final product is Pent-3-enal.
