Statement 1: Reduction of `3`-phenyl prop-2-en-1-al with `LAH` gives 3-phenyl propan-1-ol.
Statement 2: Both the double bond and the aldehyde group of `alpha, beta`-unsaturated aldehydes are reduced by `LAH`.

Options

A. a.Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement 1.
B. b.Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true and Statement 2 is not the correct explanation of Statement 1.
C. c.Statement 1 is true and statement 2 is false.
D. d.Statement 1 is false and statement 2 is false

Answer

A

Explanation

Since LAH reduces `(-CHO)` group to `(-CH_(2)OH)` group and `(C=C)` bond when `(Pg)` group is attrached to the `beta`-position of the `(C=C)` bond, so both the statement are true and the answer is `(a)`.
