Identify the reagents \(A\) and \(B\) in the following reaction.
\(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_3 \stackrel{(B)}{\longleftrightarrow} \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH} \stackrel{(A)}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{OH}\)

  1. A \(A=\mathrm{HI} /\) red \(\mathrm{P}\) and \(B=\mathrm{LiAlH}_4\)
  2. B \(A=\mathrm{Ni} / \Delta\) and \(B=\mathrm{LiAlH}_4\)
  3. C \(A=\mathrm{Pd} / \mathrm{BaSO}_4\) and \(B=\mathrm{Zn} / \mathrm{HCl}\)
  4. D \(A=\mathrm{LiAlH}_4\) and \(B=\mathrm{HI} /\) red \(\mathrm{P}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(A=\mathrm{LiAlH}_4\) and \(B=\mathrm{HI} /\) red \(\mathrm{P}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{LiAlH}_4\) is a strong reducing agent that reduces carboxylic acid to alcohol and \(\mathrm{HI} /\) Red \(\mathrm{P}\) reduces the acid to corresponding alkane.…
