Which of the following carboxylic acids is not reduced to the corresponding

1^\circ

alcohol by

{\mathrm{LiAl}{\mathrm{H}_4}}

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

\mathrm{BrC}{\mathrm{H}_2}\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_2}\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_2}\mathrm{COOH}

Option A (

\mathrm{BrC}{\mathrm{H}_2}\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_2}\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_2}\mathrm{COOH}

) is correct because

{\mathrm{LiAl}{\mathrm{H}_4}}

will also reduce the alkyl halide (Br) to an alkane, leading to a different product than the corresponding 1° alcohol.
