What is the product obtained when Pent-3-enenitrile is treated with DIBAL-H followed by acid hydrolysis?
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
The structure of Pent-3-enenitrile is .
DIBAL-H (Diisobutylaluminium hydride) is a selective reducing agent that reduces nitriles to imines. Upon subsequent acid hydrolysis, the imine is converted to an aldehyde.
DIBAL-H does not reduce isolated carbon-carbon double bonds.
Therefore, the group is converted to a group, while the double bond remains intact.
The product formed is Pent-3-enal, which has the structure .
