Write the equation for the reactions of a) hydrogenation of 2-methylbutanal b) oxidation of propanal with silver (I) oxide.

Let us write down the reaction equations for the following compounds.

1. The reaction is called a hydrogenation reaction.

CH3 – CH2 – CH (CH3) – CHO + H2 = CH3 – CH2 – CH (CH3) – CH2OH.

When 2 – methylbutanal interacts with hydrogen, a compound is formed called 2 – methylbutanol – 1.

2. The reaction is called the oxidation reaction or the silver mirror reaction.

CH3 – CH2 – CHO + Ag2O = 2Ag + CH3 – CH2 – CH2OH.

When propanal reacts with silver oxide, propanoic acid is formed.
