The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the reagent [X] that can convert the compound \( C_6H_5-CH=CH-CHO \) into \( C_6H_5-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2OH \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Starting Material**: The starting material is \( C_6H_5-CH=CH-CHO \). This compound has a phenyl group (benzene ring) attached to a carbon-carbon double bond (alkene) and an aldehyde group (CHO). 2. **Identify the Desired Product**: The desired product is \( C_6H_5-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2OH \). This product has a phenyl group attached to a straight-chain alkane with a terminal alcohol group (OH). 3. **Determine the Reaction Type**: The transformation involves the reduction of both the carbon-carbon double bond and the aldehyde group. The aldehyde group needs to be converted into an alcohol, and the double bond needs to be fully saturated. 4. **Select the Appropriate Reagent**: - **Lithium Aluminum Hydride (LiAlH_4)**: This is a strong reducing agent that can reduce aldehydes to alcohols and can also reduce alkenes to alkanes. - **Sodium Borohydride (NaBH_4)**: This reagent is milder and primarily reduces aldehydes and ketones, but it does not reduce alkenes. - **Aluminum Isopropoxide**: This reagent is not typically used for such reductions. 5. **Apply the Reagent**: Using Lithium Aluminum Hydride (LiAlH_4) on the starting material \( C_6H_5-CH=CH-CHO \) will: - Reduce the aldehyde (CHO) to an alcohol (CH2OH). - Reduce the double bond (C=C) to a single bond (C-C), resulting in the formation of the desired product \( C_6H_5-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2OH \). 6. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the reagent [X] that will convert \( C_6H_5-CH=CH-CHO \) to \( C_6H_5-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2OH \) is **Lithium Aluminum Hydride (LiAlH_4)**. ### Final Answer: **[X] is Lithium Aluminum Hydride (LiAlH_4)**. ---
