(a)
Interpretation:
Detailed mechanism and major product for the following reaction is to be proposed.
Concept introduction:
LiAlH4 is a strong reducing agent having hydride ion as active electron rich species. Hydride ions are excellent nucleophiles but poor leaving groups. However, they can still react with acids and their derivatives. LiAlH4 can reduce
(b)
Interpretation:
Detailed mechanism and major product for following reaction is to be proposed.
Concept introduction:
LiAlH4 is a strong reducing agent having hydride ion as active electron rich species. Hydride ions are excellent nucleophiles but poor leaving groups. However, they can still react with acids and amides in nucleophilic addition-elimination reaction. LiAlH4 can reduce amide to
