33. The compound lithium tetrahydridoaluminate(III), LIAIH4, is a useful reducing agent. It behaves in a similar fashion to NaBH4. Carbonyl compounds and carboxylic acids are reduced to alcohols. However, LIAIH4 also reduces water in a violent reaction so that it must be used in an organic solvent. Which one of the following can be reduced by LIAIH4 to a primary alcohol? B - 0-H CH CH, D.
