AIIMS 2018 Chemistry Reduction Reactions MCQ Question

The reaction of the given compound with LiAlH₄, a strong reducing agent, typically reduces carbonyl groups (such as aldehydes and ketones) to their corresponding alcohols. Option D represents the alcohol formed from the reduction of the carbonyl group present in the compound, illustrating the expected outcome of this reaction. In contrast, options A, B, and C likely depict products that do not result from the reduction process, such as unreacted starting materials or incorrect functional groups that do not undergo reduction with LiAlH₄. Understanding the reactivity of carbonyl compounds with reducing agents is crucial for predicting the products of organic reactions.
