• In the given reaction, reactant is ethanoic acid $(CH_3COOH)$ and the product is ethanol ($CH_3CH_2OH$) .
• To convert ethanoic acid to ethanol, ethanoic acid is treated with reducing agent such as $LiAlH_4$ and ether.
• When this reaction occurs the product formed is ethanol.
• When this ethanol is treated with strong oxidizing agents such as $H^+/KMnO_4$ it gets converted into ethanoic acid.
