Question

The major product of the following reaction is :
CH₃CH = CHCO₂ CH₃ ——LiAlH4–→
(A) CH₃CH₂CH₂CHO (B) CH₃CH = CHCH₂OH (C) CH₃CH₂CH₂CO₂CH₃ (D) CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂OH

Answer 1

Answer:

d

Explanation:

major product is option d

Answer 2

•The major product of the following reaction is :

CH₃CH = CHCO₂ CH₃ ——LiAlH4–→

(B) CH₃CH = CHCH₂OH

Carboxylic esters are reduced give two alcohols, one from the alcohol portion of the ester and another one alcohol from the reduction of the carboxylate portion.

• this type of reaction is happened by two steps ,Nucleophilic Acyl Substitution then Nucleophilic Addition reaction.

And finally CH₃CH = CHCH₂OH is formed.
