    What is X in the reaction \[C{{H}_{3}}CH=CH.CHO\xrightarrow{LiAl{{H}_{4}}}X\]

    A)  \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}OH\]

    B)  \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}CHO\]

    C) \[C{{H}_{3}}CH=CHC{{H}_{2}}OH\]

    D)  \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}OH\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[\text{LiAl}{{\text{H}}_{\text{4}}}\]reduces only carbonyl group prior to double bond. Hence, crotonaldehyde give crotonyl alcohol on reduction. \[\text{C}{{\text{H}}_{3}}CH=CH.CHO\xrightarrow{\text{LiAl}{{\text{H}}_{\text{4}}}}\]                                 \[C{{H}_{3}}CH=CH.C{{H}_{2}}OH\]
