We are asked to provide an equation for the transformation of 2-phenylethanoic acid to 2-phenylethanol. This type of a reaction is converting a carboxylic acid to an alcohol, which is classified as a reduction reaction since we are decreasing the number of bonds to oxygen in the molecule. In order to reduce a carbonyl to an alcohol, we need a source of hydride, H⁻. Reducing the carboxylic acid once will convert it to the aldehyde. However, we need to reduce the functional group all the way down to an alcohol, which is another reduction step after aldehyde formation. Therefore, the hydride source of choice is lithium aluminum hydride, LiAlH₄.
A reaction scheme is provided to show the reaction of the reduction of carboxylic acid to alcohol. The first step is addition of lithium aluminum hydride which does the reduction, and the second step is a work-up of acid which protonates the alcohol to get the final product.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
It said in water it had a freezing point of 0.352oC. so right i the start i picked C because it sounds like it doesn't dissociates in water so that is my answer
- Hope this helps
- This is my answer
- Ask any questions if wrong plz and thank you
