Question

In the reaction,
$H _{3} C - CH = CH - CH _{2}- CH _{2}- CN\xrightarrow[(ii)H_2O]{(i)AlH(i-Bu)_2}$
Identify the product formed in the given reaction.

• A. $H _{3} C - CH _{2} CH _{2} CH _{2} CH _{2} CN$
• B. $H _{3} C - CH = CH - CH _{2} CH _{2} CHO$
• C. $H _{3} CCH _{2} CH _{2} CH _{2} CH _{2} CHO$
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$CH _{3}- CH = CH - CH _{2}- CH _{2}- CN \xrightarrow[\text{(ii)}H_2O]{\text { (i) } AlH (i- Bu )_{2}}$
$CH _{3}- CH = CH - CH _{2}- CH _{2}- CHO$
