Question:

Bouveault-Blanc reduction reaction involves reduction of a carbonyl compound with Na/Hg and HCl; reduction of an acyl halide with H2/Pd; reduction of an anhydride with LiAlH4; reduction of an ester with Na/C2H5OH.

reduction of an anhydride with LiAlH4

reduction of a carbonyl compound with Na/Hg and HCl

reduction of an acyl halide with H2/Pd

reduction of an ester with Na/C2H5OH

Solution:

Bouveault-Blanc reduction reaction involves reduction of an ester with Na/C2H5OH to obtain primary alcohol.
