Identify the reagent(s)that would bring about the following reaction: CH₃CH₂CH₂COCl $\to$CH₃CH₂CH₂CHO A)H₂/Ni B)Li/liq.NH₃ C)LiAlH[OC(CH₃)₃]₃,ether D)NaBH₄,CH₃OH E)LiAlH₄,ether

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The presence of COCl suggests a reduction reaction, which can be achieved with a reducing agent. Choice C, LiAlH[OC(CH3)3], is a strong reducing agent that can reduce the carbonyl group to an alcohol. The other reagents listed are not strong enough reducing agents to affect this transformation.
