A) \[R-O-R\]
B) \[RCOCl\]
C) \[R-COOH\]
D) \[R-CHO\]
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Compounds having \[-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-\] moiety in their structure are reduced to alcohols using \[NaB{{H}_{4}}\] in ethanolic solution. Thus \[R-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-Cl,\] \[R-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-OH\] and \[R-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-H\] are reduced while, \[R-O-R\](ethers) are inert and can't be reduced by\[NaB{{H}_{4}}\].
