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

(2016 Adv.)

(a) $LiAlH _4$ in $\left(C _2 H _5\right) _2 O$

(b) $BH _3$ in THF

(c) $NaBH _4$ in $C _2 H _5 OH$

(d) Raney $Ni / H _2$ in $THF$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 33. (b)

Solution:

  1. Only $-CHO$ group is to be reduced to $-CH _2 OH$.

It can be done using $NaBH _4$ in $C _2 H _5 OH$.

(a) $LiAlH _4 /\left(C _2 H _5\right) _2 O$ reduces I, II and III into $-CH _2 OH$, and IV into diol.

(b) $BH _3 /$ THF show same properties as (a).

(c) $NaBH _4 / C _2 H _5 OH$ reduces III into $-CH _2 OH$.

(d) Raney nickel, same as (a) and (b), thus (c) is correct reagent.
