Consider the following set of reactions.

What are A and B respectively?

  1. A \(\mathrm{LiAlH}_4, \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \quad ; \mathrm{H}_2 / \mathrm{Ni}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{Na} / \mathrm{Hg}, \mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{OH}\); DIBAL-H, \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\)
  3. C DIBAL-H, \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \quad ; \mathrm{LiAlH}_4, \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{Na} / \mathrm{Hg}, \mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{OH} ; \mathrm{H}_2 / \mathrm{Ni}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{Na} / \mathrm{Hg}, \mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{OH}\); DIBAL-H, \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

A is DIBAL-H, \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\) for partial reduction of nitrile to aldehyde. B is \(\mathrm{LiAlH}_4, \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\) for full reduction of ester to primary alcohol. Thus, A and B are DIBAL-H, \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\) and…
