Which of the following reagents can reduce all types of alkyl halides?

A

Lithium aluminumhydride, `LiAlH_(4)`

B

Sodium borohybride, `NaBH_(4)`

C

Triphenytinhydride, `Ph_(3)SnH`

D

All of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Primary `(1^(@))` and secondary `(2^(@))` alkyl halides are readily reduced to alkanes by `LiAlH_(4)`, but tertiary `(3^(@))` halides give mainly alkenes through dehydrohalogenation. `NaBH_(4)` reduces `2^(@) and 3^(@)` halides, but not `1^(@)`. `Ph_(3)SnH` reduces methyl halides and all three types of haliders.
