Textbook Question

Chapter 17.4, Problem 5P

What aldehyde or ketone is needed to prepare each alcohol by metal hydride reduction?

a. Chapter 17.4, Problem 5P, Problem 20.5 What aldehyde or ketone is needed to prepare each alcohol by metal hydride , example 1 b. c.

Definition Definition Organic compounds that have a carbonyl group, C=O, as their functional group. The carbonyl group in aldehydes is placed at the end of the molecular structure, which means the C=O is attached to one hydrogen atom and an alkyl group or a benzene ring. Just like all the other homologous series in organic chemistry, the naming of aldehydes uses the suffix “-al”. The general molecular formula is C n H 2n O.
