Q57.The reagent(s) required for the following conversion are: (1) (i) NaBH4 , (ii) Raney Ni/H2 , (iii) H3O+ (2) (i) LiAlH4 , (ii) H3O+ (3) (i) B2H6 , (ii) DIBAL −H, (iii) H3O+ (4) (i) B2H6 , (ii) SnCl2/HCl, (iii) H3O+

What This Question Tests

This question requires knowledge of multi-step organic synthesis, specifically differentiating between various reducing agents and their specificity to convert an ester to a nitrile and then to an aldehyde, followed by reduction to alcohol (implied by typical choices for these conversions).

Concepts Tested

Reduction of nitriles to aminesHydroboration-oxidation of alkenesReduction of esters to alcoholsSelective reducing agents (B₂H₆, SnCl₂/HCl, LiAlH₄, NaBH₄)
