Glycerol and pottasiumhydrogensulfate gives acroleine CH2=CH-CHO , reductionwith Alanate gives Propanale CH3CH2CHO
Sodium hydrogen sulphate (NaHSO
4)acts like a
dehydrating agent which results in the dehydration of
glycerol to acrolein. Then aldehyde group of acrolein can be reduced by
lithium aluminum hydride to give alcohol.Alkene pi bond can not be reduced by metal hydrides like sodium boron hydride NaBH4 or lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH4). [attachment id=0 msg=3052]
