Question

$CH _{3} COOH \xrightarrow{ LiAlH _{4}}A + CH _{3} COOH \xrightarrow{ H _{3} O ^{+}} B + H _{2} O$ In the above reactions ' $A$ ' and ' $B$ ' respectively are

• A. $CH_{3}COOC_{2} H_{5},\, C_{2}H_{5}OH$
• B. $CH_{3}CHO,\,C_{2} H_{5} OH$
• C. $C_{2}H_{5}OH,\,CH_{3} CHO$
• D. $C_{2}H_{5}OH,\,CH_{3}COOC_{2} H_{5}$

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

$CH _{3} COOH +4 H \xrightarrow{\text { LiAlH }_{4}}\underset{(A)}{CH _{3} CH _{2} OH} + H _{2} O$ $\underset{(A)}{CH _{3} CH _{2} OH} + CH _{3} COOH \stackrel{ H _{3} O ^{+}}{\longrightarrow}$ $\underset{(B)}{C{H}_{3}COOC_{2} H_{5}}+H_{2}O$
