Which of the following statements are correct about the following reaction: `RCO OH+LiAlH_(4)to`

A

First step in the above reaction is: `RCOOH +LiAlH_(4) to RCOO^("Ө")Li^(o+) +H_(2)+AlH_(3)`

B

Second step is the transfer of `H^("Ө")` ion from `AlH_(3)` to (C=O) of `RCO O^("Ө")`

C

The intermediate product (RCH=O) is formed

D

(RCH=O) is further reduced to `RCH_(2)O^("Ө")` which on acidification gives `RCH_(2)OH`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C, D
A,B, C and D are the steps of mechanism of reduction of RCOOH to `RCH_(2)OH` by LAH.
