Identify the product in following reaction.
Pent - 3 -enenitrile \(\xrightarrow[\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{O}^{+}]{\mathrm{AlH}(-\mathrm{Bu})_2}\) product

  1. A Pent-3-en-1-amine
  2. B Pentanal
  3. C Pent-3-enal
  4. D Pent-3-en-1-ol
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Pent-3-enal

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\underset{\text{Pent-3-enenitrile}}{\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{C} \equiv \mathrm{N}} \xrightarrow[\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{O}^{+}]{\mathrm{AlH}(i-\mathrm{Bu})_2}\) \(\underset{\text{Pent-3-enal}}{\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{CHO}}\)
\(\mathrm{AlH}(\mathrm{i}-\mathrm{Bu})_2\) acts as a reducing agent.
