Aromatic carbonyl compounds

Question

$C_{6} H_{5} - CH = CHCHO \overset{(X)}{⟶} C_{6} H_{5} CH = {CHCH}_{2} OH$
In the above sequence (X) can be:

Moderate

A

H₂/ Ni
B

NaBH₄
C

HI/ red phosphorus
D

LiAlH₄

Solution

$Ph - CH = CH - CHO \overset{{NaBH}_{4}}{⟶} Ph - CH = CH - {CH}_{2} OH$
NaBH₄ does not reduce (C=C) and (C $\equiv$ C) bonds.
