Question
Which of the following are used to convert \[\ce{RCHO}\] into \[\ce{RCH2OH}\]?
(i) \[\ce{H2/Pd}\]
(ii) \[\ce{LiAlH4}\]
(iii) \[\ce{NaBH4}\]
(iv) Reaction with \[\ce{RMgX}\] followed by hydrolysis
Solution
(i) \[\ce{H2/Pd}\]
(ii) \[\ce{LiAlH4}\]
(iii) \[\ce{NaBH4}\]
Explanation:
Aldehydes and ketones are reduced to the corresponding alcohols by addition of hydrogen in the presence of catalysts (catalytic hydrogenation. It is also prepared by treating aldehydes and ketones with sodium borohydride \[\ce{(NaBH4)}\] or lithium aluminium hydride \[\ce{(LiAlH4)}\].
