Which of the following on reaction with aluminimum produces a compound that is used in Meerwein -Ponndrof-Verly reduction of carbonyl compounds?A. `CH_(3)CHOHCH_(3)`B. `CH_(3)CH_(2)OH`C. `CH_(3)OH`D. `(CH_(3))_(3)COH` |
Answer» Correct Answer - A `MPV` reduction is carried out with aluminium isopropoxide in isopropyl alcohol. Thus to make the alkoxide we need to run the following reaction : `6CH_3-underset("Isopropyl")underset(H)underset(|)overset(CH_3)overset(|)C-OH+2Alrarr2underset("Aluminium isopropoxide")((CH_3-underset(H)underset(|)overset(CH_3)overset(|)C-O)_3)Al+3H_2` |
