The correct Answer is:
To determine the appropriate reducing agent for the conversion of the compound `CH2=CH-CH2-C(=O)H` (an aldehyde with a carbon-carbon double bond) to `CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2OH` (a primary alcohol), we need to analyze the reaction and the reducing agents provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Functional Groups**: - The starting compound has an aldehyde functional group (`-C(=O)H`) and a carbon-carbon double bond (`C=C`). - The product is a primary alcohol (`-CH2OH`), and the carbon-carbon double bond has been reduced to a single bond. 2. **Determine the Required Reductions**: - We need to reduce the aldehyde group to a primary alcohol. - We also need to reduce the carbon-carbon double bond to a single bond. 3. **Evaluate the Reducing Agents**: - **Lithium Aluminum Hydride (LiAlH4)**: A strong reducing agent that can reduce aldehydes and ketones but does not affect carbon-carbon double bonds. Therefore, it is not suitable for this reaction. - **Sodium Borohydride (NaBH4)**: A mild reducing agent that can reduce aldehydes and ketones but not carbon-carbon double bonds. Hence, it is also not suitable. - **Sodium in Ethanol**: This can reduce aldehydes, but it does not reduce carbon-carbon double bonds effectively. Thus, it is not the best choice. - **Boron Trifluoride (B2H6) in presence of H+**: This reagent can reduce both aldehydes to primary alcohols and carbon-carbon double bonds to single bonds. This makes it suitable for the required transformation. 4. **Conclusion**: - The best reducing agent for the conversion of `CH2=CH-CH2-C(=O)H` to `CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2OH` is **B2H6 in presence of H+**. ### Final Answer: The appropriate reducing agent for the conversion is **B2H6 in presence of H+**.
