Lithium aluminium hydride ( LiAlH 4) is a powerful reducing agent. It reduces acetic acid into ethanol. underset text acetic acid CH 3 COOH xrightarrow [ textether]LiAlH4 underset text ethyl alcohol CH 3 CH 2 OH + H 2 O Na + C 2 H 5 OH is used in the reduction of alkyl halides to alkanes. R-X+2 H xrightarrow Na + C 2 H 5 OH R H + HX H 2+Pt is used in the catalytic hydrogenation. CH 2= CH 2+ H 2 xrightarrow pt CH 3- CH 3 > C = O xrightarrow H 2+ Pt > CHOH Sn + HCl is used in the reduction of nitroalkanes into primary amine. CH 3 CH 2 NO 2+6[ H ] xrightarrow Sn + HCl CH 3 CH 2 ⋅ NH 2 +2 H 2 O
