Vedclass · Answer

(B) The reduction of aldehydes gives primary alcohols,and the reduction of ketones gives secondary alcohols.$1$. Butan$-1-$ol (primary alcohol) can be obtained by the reduction of butanal.$2$. Butan$-2-$ol (secondary alcohol) can be obtained by the reduction of butan$-2-$one.$3$. $2-$methyl propan$-1-$ol (primary alcohol) can be obtained by the reduction of $2-$methyl propanal.$4$. $2-$methyl propan$-2-$ol is a tertiary alcohol. Tertiary alcohols cannot be prepared by the reduction of carbonyl compounds (aldehydes or ketones) as they require the addition of a Grignard reagent to a ketone.
