    The reaction of\[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}CH=CHCHO\]with \[NaB{{H}_{4}}\]gives

    A) \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}OH\]

    B) \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}CH=CHC{{H}_{2}}OH\]

    C) \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}CHO\]

    D) \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}C{{H}_{2}}CHOHC{{H}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     \[NaB{{H}_{4}}\]being a mild reducing agent does not affect\[C=C\]but cause reduction of\[CHO\]group. \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}CH=CHCHO\xrightarrow{NAB{{H}_{4}}}\]\[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}CH=CHC{{H}_{2}}OH\]
