Identify \(A\) and \(B\) in the following reaction \(\mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{CH}_3 \stackrel{B}{\longleftarrow} \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH} \stackrel{A}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{OH}\) \(\text { A } \quad \text { B }\)

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{LiAlH}_4 \quad \mathrm{HI}+\) red P

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Acetic acid on reduction with lithium aluminiumhydride \(\left(\mathrm{LiAlH}_4\right)\) gives ethyl alcohol while on reduction with \(\mathrm{HI}\) and red \(\mathrm{P}\) gives ethane.…
