In the reaction of excess of ${LiAlH_4}$ with crotonaldehyde

A

Only CHO group is reduced

B

Only C=C bond gets saturated

C

both-CHO and C=C bond gets reduced

D

neither C=O nor C=C bond is reduced

Answer

both-CHO and C=C bond gets reduced

Explanation

Solution

$CH_3CH = CHCHO {->[LiAlH^4][\text{excess}]}$ $CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2OH$
