Assertion: Esters which contain `alpha-`hydrogens undergo Claisen condensation.
Reason : `LiAIH_(4)` reduction of esters gives acids

A

If Both assertion and reason are true reason is the correct explation of the assertion.

B

If Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If assertion is false but reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
It is known that esters with `alpha`-hydrogens form carbanion when treated with base.It bring about nucleophilic substitution at the carbonyl group of the orther molecules of the ester to yield beta-keto ester `LiAIH_(4)` reduces esters to alcohols.
