Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The alcohol formed due to reaction of carbonyl with
Concept introduction:
In the reduction of carbonyl compounds, hydrogen atoms are added to the carbonyl carbon, forming alcohols.
(b)
Interpretation:
The needed structural differences should be made to 4-methylcyclopentanone to derive the relevant product of reduction.
Concept introduction:
In the reduction of carbonyl compounds, Hydrogen atoms are added to the carbonyl carbon, forming alcohols finally. Ketones form secondary alcohols.
(c)
Interpretation:
The needed structural differences should be made to 5-methyl-3-hexanone to derive the relevant product of reduction.
Concept introduction:
In the reduction of carbonyl compounds, ketones form secondary alcohols.
(d)
Interpretation:
The needed structural differences should be made to Octanal to derive the relevant product of reduction.
Concept introduction:
In the reduction of carbonyl compounds, an aldehyde is converted to primary alcohol.
