Chapter 16, Problem 54P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The carbonyl compound needed to produce the following alcohol by a reduction reaction should be determined:

General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry - 4th edition, Chapter 16, Problem 54P

Concept Introduction:

In a reduction of an organic molecule, either the number of C-O bonds decreases or number of C-H bonds increases. So when a ketone is reduced by H2 in the presence of Pd catalyst, C=O double bond is reduced to C-O single bond and H2 is added across this C=O double bond forming a secondary alcohol.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The carbonyl compound needed to produce the following alcohol by a reduction reaction should be determined:

(CH3)2CHCH2CH2OH

Concept Introduction:

In a reduction of an organic molecule, either the number of C-O bonds decreases or number of C-H bonds increases. So when an aldehyde is reduced by H2 in the presence of Pd catalyst, C=O double bond is reduced to C-O single bond and H2 is added across this C=O double bond forming a primary alcohol.
