JEE Main 2021 (Online) 16th March Evening Shift Chemistry - Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acids Question 145 English In the above reaction, the reagent ''A'' is :
  1. A
    LiAlH4LiAlH_4LiAlH4​
  2. B
    NaBH4NaBH_4NaBH4​, H3O+H_3O^+H3​O+
  3. C
    HCl, Zn −-− Hg
  4. D
    Alkaline KMnO4KMnO_4KMnO4​, H+H^+H+

Correct answer: D

The reaction scheme/image is not visible in the provided prompt, so the exact substrate and product are missing. Therefore, the reagent cannot be derived rigorously from the reaction transformation itself.

However, we can still analyze the nature of the given reagents:

  1. LiAlH4LiAlH_4LiAlH4​

    • Strong reducing agent.
    • Converts aldehydes, ketones, acids, esters, etc. into alcohols.
  2. NaBH4, H3O+NaBH_4,\ H_3O^+NaBH4​, H3​O+

    • Mild reducing agent.
    • Reduces aldehydes and ketones to alcohols.
  3. HCl, Zn−HgHCl,\ Zn-HgHCl, Zn−Hg

    • Clemmensen reduction.
    • Reduces carbonyl group C=OC=OC=O of aldehydes/ketones to methylene −CH2−-CH_2-−CH2​−.
  4. Alkaline KMnO4KMnO_4KMnO4​, then H+H^+H+

    • Strong oxidizing reagent.
    • Oxidizes aldehydes or benzylic side chains, and in many cases converts side chains to carboxylic acids.

Since the stored correct answer is D, the implied transformation in the missing reaction is most likely an oxidation to a carboxylic acid (or related oxidized product), for which alkaline KMnO4KMnO_4KMnO4​ followed by acidification is appropriate.

Thus, based on the available information, the most plausible answer is:

D: Alkaline KMnO4, H+\boxed{\text{D: Alkaline } KMnO_4,\ H^+}D: Alkaline KMnO4​, H+​
