Answer» `LiAlH_(4)` `NaBH_(4)` `Ni//H_(2)` Both A and B Solution :`LiAlH_(4)` attacks a double bond when phenyl group is attached to the `beta`-carbon ATOM of `alpha, beta` unsaturated CARBONYL group. However, under these CONDITIONS `NaBH_(4)` do no attack the double bond. `underset("Cinnamic ALDEHYDE")(C_(6)H_(5)-CH=CHO+2[H]) overset(NaBH_(4))rarr underset("Cinnamyl ALCOHOL")(C_(6)H_(5)-CH=CH-CH_(2)OH)`
