    \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}CH=CHCHO\xrightarrow{X}{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}CH\]\[=CHC{{H}_{2}}OH\]  In the above sequence X can be

    A)  \[{{H}_{2}}/Ni\]                              

    B)  \[NaE{{H}_{4}}\]

    C)  \[{{K}_{2}}C{{r}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}/{{H}^{+}}\]           

    D)  Both (a) and (b)

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     \[NaB{{H}_{4}}\] and \[LiAl{{H}_{4}}\] attacks only carbonyl group and reduce it into alcohol group. They do not attack on double bond. \[\underset{cinnamic\text{ }aldehyde}{\mathop{{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}-CH=CHCHO}}\,\xrightarrow{NaB{{H}_{4}}}\]                                 \[\underset{cinnamic\text{ }alcohol}{\mathop{{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}-CH=CH.\,C{{H}_{2}}OH}}\,\]
