The carboxylic acids contain carboxylic
Aldehydes and ketones contain carbonyl
Lithium aluminum hydride and sodium borohydride are strong reducing agents. They are inorganic compounds which are used as the reducing agents in organic synthesis. They are used for the conversion of carboxylic acids, aldehydes and ketones into primary and secondary alcohols.

- 18.31 Aldehydes that have no a hydrogen undergo an intermolecular oxidation-reduction called the Cannizzaro reaction when they are treated with concentrated base. An example is the following reaction of benzaldehyde: ororo H HO™ OH H₂O 2 + (a) When the reaction is carried out in D₂O, the benzyl alcohol that is isolated contains no deuterium bound to carbon. It is CBH-CH₂OD. What does this suggest about the mechanism for the reaction? (b) When (CH3)2CHCHO and Ba(OH)₂/H₂O are heated in a sealed tube, the reaction produces only (CH3)₂CHCH₂OH and [(CH3)₂CHCO₂]2Ba. Provide an explanation for the formation of these products.arrow_forwardProvide a two step method to distinguish between the following compounds. (Propanal, butanal, butanone, propanone).
