Concept Introduction:
Lithium aluminum hydride and sodium borohydride are strong reducing agents. They are inorganic compounds which are used as the reducing agents in
In the reaction of
By catalytic hydrogenation, aldehydes are reduced to primary alcohols. Grignard reagents react with ketones and aldehydes to form alcohols. These reactions are nucleophilic addition reactions. The Grignard reagent adds to the carbonyl group of aldehydes and ketones due to electronegativity difference between carbon and oxygen.
An organolithium reagent acts like a good nucleophiles and strong bases. They used for the conversion of aldehydes and ketones into primary and secondary alcohols. Acetal is an organic compound with general formula
