Which of the following on reaction with aluminimum produces a compound that is used in Meerwein -Ponndrof-Verly reduction of carbonyl compounds?

A

`CH_(3)CHOHCH_(3)`

B

`CH_(3)CH_(2)OH`

C

`CH_(3)OH`

D

`(CH_(3))_(3)COH`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`MPV` reduction is carried out with aluminium isopropoxide in isopropyl alcohol. Thus to make the alkoxide we need to run the following reaction :
`6CH_3-underset("Isopropyl")underset(H)underset(|)overset(CH_3)overset(|)C-OH+2Alrarr2underset("Aluminium isopropoxide")((CH_3-underset(H)underset(|)overset(CH_3)overset(|)C-O)_3)Al+3H_2`
