Question

Reducing agent which convert aldehyde into alcohol

Answer 1

${\texttt{\huge{\purple{\underline{ANSWER :-}}}}}$

Hydride reacts with the carbonyl group, C=O, in aldehydes or ketones to give alcohols. The substituents on the carbonyl dictate the nature of the product alcohol. Reduction of methanal (formaldehyde) gives methanol. Reduction of other aldehydes gives primary alcohols.
