Answers

The products formed from LiAlH4 reduction of each compound are shown below:

Step by step solution

01

Step-by-Step SolutionStep 1: Reduction of carboxylic acids

LiAlH4 is a strongest reducing agent that do not stop the reaction at the aldehyde stage from a carboxylic acid. They undergo over-reduction to convert carboxylic acids into primary alcohols.

02

Reduction of amides

Besides reducing carboxylic acids, LiAlH4 too can reduce amides (primary, secondary or tertiary) into primary, secondary, or tertiary amines.

In the provided structures, over-reduction occurs, which indicates that with the help of LiAlH4, such conversion can take place.

03

Explanation

Hence, based on the explanations, the products formed from LiAlH4 reduction of each compound are shown below:
