B) $ \overset{\overset{O}{\mathop{||}}}{\mathop{C_6H_5CCH_3}}\underset{2.{H^{+}}}{\mathop{\xrightarrow{1.LiAlH_4}}} $
C) $ CH_3CHO\underset{2.{H^{+}}}{\mathop{\xrightarrow{1.LiAlH_4}}} $
D) $ \overset{\overset{O}{\mathop{||}}}{\mathop{CH_3CCH_3}}\underset{2.Br_2}{\mathop{\xrightarrow{1.O{H^{-}}}}} $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
$ \underset{Acetophenone}{\mathop{C_6H_5-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}}}-CH_3}}\xrightarrow{LiAlH_4} $
$ \underset{2^{o}alcohol}{\mathop{C_6H_5-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{CH}}}}-CH_3}} $
