Answer: This is converted with the help of lithium aluminium hydride in the presence of ether.
Explanation:
We are given an organic compound named as but-2-en-1-al and we need to convert it into but-2-en-1-ol. The reaction in which aldehyde converts into alcohol is reduction.
Reduction of the given aldehyde is carries out in the presence of LAH/ether. Ether is used because LAH is a strong reducing agent and in the presence of ether, it does not reduces alkenes.
